Hi,
My 1997 Toyota 4Runner recently started backfiring. I decided to check the spark plugs first when I noticed one of the spark plugs had been blown entirely off the threads and stripped the threads in the process. I purchased a sav-a-thread kit (using a heli-coil) from Advance Auto Parts. I quickly found out that this kit uses a 14mm socket and not a 5/8" socket making it impossible to use. None of the auto shops in my area carry a kit that will work with a 5/8" socket.
Does anybody know where I could find a kit/tool that works? I would greatly appreciate a link.
Thanks,
Abe
