changing spark plugs - problem
today i decided to get my spark plugs changed. took out the coils, but when it comes time to put in the 5/8" socket it doesnt fit? there looks to be some outer ring in the socket that is creating this problem?

let me just add, this is the first car where i did not have to buy the wireset, rotor and distributor cap, so this is new to me and to the person actually trying to change them for me. i hate to seem so n00bish, but first car where i had a setup like this.

I have two sockets in my tool set for spark plugs that are listed as 5/8". Only one works, so I would say you have the wrong one . I am guessing the 5/8" refers to something else on the socket, though I am not sure what.

There are TWO sparkplug socket sizes - 5/8" (the correct one) and 13/16" (too big). There is rubber inside of the sparkplug socket to hold the plug in it while you take it out. With out this rubber you would be unable to remove it after it is unscrewed (unless you have very long thin fingers to reach in and pull it out).
