Gotta get me a K-D spark plug socket...nice tip!

When I did the 30k mi. service on this 993 one of the cap's screws just wouldn't break free. I tried the tighten a little then loosen bit but it just wouldn't break. Wound up using the Craftsman bolt remover, worked fantastic.

The bolt remover set is the top item in the photo below, the KD spark plug set in the bottom photo.
