Deauville spark plug remover.
Long shot I know. Does anyone have one?
I can only change two of the four plugs with the tools that I have. It would appear that I need the exact tool for the job. S Reg Deauville 650. Cheers Si. |

Re: Deauville spark plug remover.
From what I remember from when I was at work, even our mechanics hated changing plugs on a Divvy.
Sorry, I'm being as much help as Rictus really aren't I. |

Re: Deauville spark plug remover.
I had a VT500C for a little bit which is essentially the same block. I found that a plug socket and 3/8" extension bar sorted it out ok for me but the frame could be getting in the way on yours I guess.
The biggest giggle was when a plug dropped back in and wedged, needed a magnet on a flexi tube to get that back out....

Re: Deauville spark plug remover.
I have plenty of different sized spark plug removing tools. The issue that I have is that for the correct size in mm the thickness of the tool is too big to fit down the well.
Not sure if I explained my self properly there. |

Re: Deauville spark plug remover.
I seem to remember having no trouble getting them out using a 3/8 socket set, the tricky bit was getting the thread putting them back in again down that deep hole. I seem to remember starting them off by using a piece of hose instead of a socket, since you cant cross thread that way.
