Put it in finger tight, then use a GOOD pair of needle nose pliers, or better yet, needle nose vicegrips to tighten the plug. Don't try tightening it by the porcelain part, or the tip!!!

An offset box end wrench will work if youhave one....I don't.

Yeah, it's probably got a tip that doesn't unscrew. If you replace the wire and cap with a good automotive part (7mm) then you can use either type of plug and have a hotter spark.

I've used Champion CJ7Y. Which is Low-profile plug. 100's of miles with no problems.
