spark plug removal with headers
ok guys, this 85 350 has Hooker headers that cross directly over most of the spark plugs. Is there a special tool to get these out so I can replace them and ultimately the headers themselves? Thanks.

5/8" open/boxed wrench
Spark plug socket with the wrenching hex on end, and wrench to fit that hex
Spark plug socket with a one side cut out (kinda like on a O2 sensor socket)
That's the 3 tools I use to change plugs with headers

Re: spark plug removal with headers
I made one by welding a socket to a wrench BUT this seems to work well.

Make sure it has a curved handle.

To add to night rider's list, which already has acoupla my favorites as well:
Box end wrench w about a 1" offset (can be made from a straight one by heating and bending)
