Spark-Plug tube removal tip...

Discovered this tonight, who needs a $70 tool !!

SPARK-PLUG TUBE REMOVAL TIP !!:

* Remove valve-cover
* Insert a nut from the spark-plug tube on the tube to be removed but
install the nut flat-side up.
* Insert another nut from a different spark-plug tube on the tube to be
removed flat side down (flat side to flat side)
* tighten the two nuts towards eath other (double-nut technique) until tight
using channel-locks or whatever.
* using an open-end 30mm wrench or channel-locks on the lower of these
two nuts, remove the spark-plug tube.

hope this helps someone out there...

Why would you do this? Is there a seal down there or something that needs to be replaced?
