Removing the spark plugs in a Spark

[RedDuck]

I'm planning to pull the spark plugs and fog the cylinders as I'll have time on my hands over winter.

The Spark is hours away and I don't have as many tools as I do at home. I've watched the youtube video of removing the deck and that all seems pretty straightforward. My question is, what size of socket do I need for the spark plugs? I can't find the BRP standard plugs and rather than just guess, can someone tell me?

Thanks.

Hi and welcome to the Seadoo forum.

Since I haven't worked on a spark, I can't say for sure, but all other SeaDoo's use a standard spark plug socket, which is 13/16".

Added: I just looked it up, the spark uses a NGK DCP-R8E, so yes the socket should be 13/16".

you have to split the whole thing just to change a spark plug?

Sadly its top deck off to get to the plugs.

Thanks Lou but...a NGK DCP-R8E has a 5/8 fitting according to this

Sure you can't get to the plugs using four 3/8" extensions with three 3/8" universal joints? If yes, that would beat my record.
