That is exactly my concern. The height. And yes, you are right, none of them state the height.

I thought a 16mm spark plug socket was needed. Havent even checled it, but that's what I have read on the forum. Will the one in link (10mm) work?

You mean trying to use the box spanner to take out the spark plug? I gave it a try with no luck. The Yamaha toolkit is total shame!

Thanks again for your reply mate.
