I have 2 plugs which have stripped hex heads. 6 new ones fitted for new MOT. How do I get damaged (no hex) plugs out of there?

Assuming you mean sparkplugs, take a look in the INDEX here, Mart.

I have an unwins similar to that but you'll need one big enough for the plugs, does work if you also spray with plus gas etc. Best of luck with it as its a bit of a pain when that happens. Were you using a hexagonal socket or something different as that shouldn't happen?
