Use a spark plug socket that has a hex on the end, you can find them
at
Sears, auto supply stores, etc. Place the socket only over the plug
and
use
an appropriate sized wrench to break the plug loose. Same way for
tightening, but do not get carried away yanking on the wrench.

OK...my socket has the flats, but still, the idea makes my stomach feel
like
I'm watching someone dangle a baby from an 8th floor balcony. Any
insights
on removing the shell?




Well, you can wear a white glove and a surgical mask while you put a towel
over the baby's head.

You have to remove all the motor cover screws to separate the shell
halves.
The hidden one is accessed by removing the pee-hole fitting and hose from
the shell, and reaching through the hole with a long extension to remove
the final screw.


What about the fuel line fitting, which is on the same side I need to remove
in order to access the plugs? Bizarre? Straightforward?
