I would like to put a new set of HD Plugs in the bike...However...the PO seems to have fitted a set of Autolite plugs ....and i cant get them out...mainly because i dont know what size they are. 5/8 is to small to fit on them...and 3/4' is too big. Any clues what size they are and any tips/tricks to change them? |

"any tips/tricks to change them?" Yes they SHOULD come out easy but if not do not force them. |

I'll be honest...I wasn't looking forward to trying to change the plugs after i saw the PO didnt use any anti seize on the axles...The spark plugs came out and went back in easily...I'm a happy guy now that i know what condition my plugs and threads are in Couldn't for the life of me find an 11/16 spark plug socket...but 18mm worked just fine |

If you have sticky plugs...WARM the engine first. Don't get it hot-hot, that can make the threads in the heads weak, but if you warm it up it can help break things loose. |

18mm common size on the Japanese bikes.Some of the NGK's for Buell will come this size if you are not careful which letter is in designator. |
