Sacrilegious!
I started my disco today, drove somewhere close by, stopped, started again and drove home!
Happens that way 4 times out of 5!
That, my friend, is what is called ‘beating the odds’, and that’s what Disco 3’s do, day in, day out.

There's all sorts of chuck fittings available these days, so would probably work okay using a long reach M8 socket.

I found that it was more the vibration and less the actual torque that did the trick. Although its been mentioned I could of done it without the air tool I think they really benefited from being shaken about a bit and then torque being applied when the plug started to move. With a simple hand ratchet its just straight torque without the vibration and I'm sure this would of damaged them.
