I have a 1996 Johnson 15 hp 4 cycle (model J15FREDR), and two nice new
spark
plugs that really want to take up residence in the motor. The top plug is
easy to get to with a spark plug socket. But the bottom plug's within the
"shell" of the motor, and it looks to me like there's no way to get a
straight shot with any sort of wrench. I'm really not in the mood to crack
a
plug.



Use a spark plug socket that has a hex on the end, you can find them at
Sears, auto supply stores, etc. Place the socket only over the plug and use
an appropriate sized wrench to break the plug loose. Same way for
tightening, but do not get carried away yanking on the wrench.
