You can find tool kits for the max on ebay....

Have almost every tool I've ever wanted (getting old) But I like the spark plug socket in
the oem tool kit best for the max. Worth buying the kit and stashing it under the seat for sure.

If you go buy an 18mm, make sure it's a 'deep' one! The short arse ones will not reach..

Sorted it .....needed a Thin Wall 18mm socket,starting is quiker,runs smoother with the iridiums,little idle adjust....gaps at .33........sweet as a nut
