I plan on changing my spark plugs and I know the last time I did it on my old car (sentra) I had a heck of a time getting the plugs out once I loosened them. There was really no way for me to get any grip on them with anything so I did it the real ghetto way by putting double sided tape on the inside of my ratchet head and pulled them out that way haha...
But my question is, is there a special tool for easily removing spark plugs?? i dont feel like going through the tape hassle again.

If you're really cheap, you can take a 5/8 socket and stick a piece of electrical tape in it, that works when I lose the washer in the socket.
