    You can make a wrench pretty easily with a torch.

    Get a 3/4 inch combo wrench, the cheaper the better. Heat and bend both ends right at where they join the center handle. Bend to 90 degrees.

    Use your torch to cut an opening in the boxed end of the wrench to slip over the spark plug wire. Cut and grind smooth to 1/2 inch opening.

    Use a 3/4 ratchet to loosen/tighten the spark plug wires or use an adjustable wrench on the main handle if you prefer.



    I see the photo is a bit out of focus, but you get the idea.

    I should have added, you have to grind on the outside of the box end to make it thinner, so it reaches all the way down into the cylinder head. Depends on how thick your wrench is to start with.

    Great! Thanks for the help. I bought some "throw down" wrenches today.
