Quality Spark Plug Socket for the MINIs using the new 14mm Bi-Hex spark plugs. Slender design to fit the tight spark plug tubes.  Sold each.

Use this socket for the 'right tool' for the job! The spark plugs on the MINI are recessed deep in the cylinder head and requires a deep thin-walled socket. The spark plug themselves are 12-point bi-hex pattern where a standard 6-point hex socket will not work.

This socket is NOT like the one found in your dad's tool box - the difference is the included magnet to secure the plug and design. We recommend a 'locking' extension to get the socket off the spark plug after you torque the plug.

Fits the following models: 
2007-2013 R56 MINI Cooper and Cooper S Hardtop 
2008-2014 R55 MINI Cooper and Cooper S Clubman 
2009-2015 R57 MINI Cooper and Cooper S Convertible  
2012-2015 R58 MINI Cooper and Cooper S Coupe 
2012-2015 R59 MINI Cooper and Cooper S Roadster
2011-2016 R60 MINI Cooper and Cooper S Countryman
2013-2016 R61 MINI Cooper and Cooper S Paceman

Torque spark plugs to 23 + 3 Nm or 16.9 + 2.2 ft-lbs (unlubricated).

Question:
I need manual tools to replace 3 Ignition coils and 4 pre gapped spark plugs for a 2010 MINI Cooper Convertible. Do you have these available to order? What manual wrenches will I need?
Answer:
The OEM plugs use a special plug socket called a "bi-hex" which is a 12 point socket for spark plugs - we have the factory tool listed on the site as part number G2NME3009

other part numbers you might need are

OEM Spark Plugs: G2NMK3402 (set of 4)
OEM Ignition Coils: G2NME3016 (sold ea.)

What size drive extension does this take? You mention a "locking extension". What manufacturer & model?
