you gotta just not seat the extension into the socket on the passenger side and it makes life alot easier on that back cylinder. drop the socket into the bore, drop the extension in then put your socket onto the extension and crack the plug loose without fully seating the socket.

Forgot to mention that the attached is a huge time saver. I do the same with this - drop in down the hole and then attach the extension. Works perfectly. And it has a magnet built in so the plug always comes out with it. Every S65 owner should have this!!

Absolutely. I also don't know how anyone is doing a plug job without it. This is the go to for spark plug jobs.

Also, wobble extensions are great.
