San Antonio, TX United States | best served with the proper plug socket and a 3 inch extension. I happen to prefer the 5/8 universal joint plug socket since i change plugs in all the victory bikes and some that people put there own custom parts on. So i can always get in with that set up. A nice set of long handled curved needle nose pliers is good for gripping the plug wire and levering against the cylinder head to pull them off cleanly with out pulling the wire out of the crimp. Of course put a rag or something soft between the needle nose pliers and the cylinder head. |

New Bohemia, VA | I keep a 1/3 cut of a hose to put on the cylinder head fin to protect when using the needle nose to pull the wire. |
