A suggestion when you get around to replacing your spark plugs which I've used in the 4 Hondas that we've owned. Makes it easier to remove & insert spark plugs in that deep spark plug well.

When removing the plugs, use your plug socket to break the seal. Remove the socket, then slip a length of 3/8" tubing over the end of the plug. Not sure what that size is in metric terms. Twist the tubing to remove the plug. Pull plug/tube from spark plug well & remove the old plug from the tubing.

Be sure to check the new plug's gap before inserting the end into the tubing. Not sure if there is a coating to put on the new thread. Insert new spark plug into end of tubing, then insert combination into the spark plug well.

When you feel the plug hit the bottom, gently twist the tubing to start the plug into its receptacle. If you cross thread the plug, you will get immediate feedback. If no cross threading, the tube will rotate smoothly until it can't anymore, meaning the plug is seated into its socket. Pull out the tubing & tighten the spark plug with your plug socket to the recommend torque.

Hope this helps. Good luck.
