Yes. That tool works very well. Clean the tube thoughly then wrap the plug with sandpaper. The secret is not to tighten the plug too much. Tighten it a bit and pull on it. The plug should pull out. Repeat and eventually the tube will pop out.

~4.5" bolt, 2 nuts, 2 washers, and optional scrap of rubber tubing.


I built one after seeing this thread: Spark plug tubes

healthservices even made an animation of it in use. For me it has worked flawlessly.
