GENIUS!

Stored in my memory bank for later.

home depot, husky impact socket extensions. they have the locking feature and will stay with the socket, forgot I have a set and they are good.


they have husky cheaper, the socket end pulls to release and they do lock in good.

That is similar to the SnapOn, but looking at the SnapOn the sockets are designed to work with the extension.

Most sockets do not have a through-hole for the pin to latch into.

A regular hammer puller won't work?

Otherwise, I'd buy freeze spray on Amazon. Freeze the [censored] out of the socket. Then attach this tool to a puller (get the right size). Use an impact to drive the puller. If that doesn't work you'll have to go hydraulic.

Hydraulic? Hahahaa.

Drill out the sparkplug, seal the socket, pour some tannerite into the injector hole and fire away. Blow that socket off! Hell yeah!

for sale cheap ---used Camry , runs great on 5 cylinders , low mileage ---:)

I hope you don't have more than a stuck socket. It sounds like from your description, the plug's threads have seized in the head.

Manual said to change at 60k and it's almost at 70k

I told mom Camry plugs are just fine for much longer, but nobody listens to me....now I can see why

I need a pic of this, cant picture whats going on here.

The all new soon to be released 100% electric 2024 Toyota CamryEV has been reengineered so that all of the spark plugs are fully compatible with 5/8” sockets.

extension pulls right out when you try to pull up. I even JB welded the extension in there and it still pulled out

No the other 3 plugs came out just fine when I realized it was 14mm. I think this mis-sized socket somehow got jammed in between the tube wall and the spark plug and maybe in the area where there is a tiny step where the tube press fits into the head. And it just won't release upwards....

I think freezing it might make a difference. I'm going to give that a go. I also think the blind bearing puller has a chance. Never seen one of those. That's what I was talking about when I was talking about my drywall-ish kind of tool that you could run a thread into and it would expand.

Yeah I just ordered a bearing puller with slide hammer on amazon. Going to grab freeze spray on the way home. Hopefully that will do the trick. I think it has a decent shot.

I'll take a pic when I get home, but this is not dissimilar to the tool I made a few days ago. Found a spade bit with a hole in it. Cut off a nail and welded it in the hole and ground it down to where it would fit in the socket hole diagonal. Then turned 45 degrees so it would catch on the flat. It bent the spade bit rather than dislodging the socket...that's how firm this thing is in there. I couldn't believe it.

Good luck were rooting for you !
