You dont really need the socket......a closed ended wrench will work just fine.

Special socket is more for installing, and not munging
the wires. It's too weak (at least mine is) for breaker
duty. Nothing wrong with an open end wrench except
for the convenience of ratchet action.

I just had to pull one out yesterday to take off one of my Cats and I used an open ended 7/8'' wrench.

I personally used the closed end of the 7/8 wrench to remove mine since they were pretty rusted. If I rememeber correctly I had to squeze the plug throught the wrench it was tight but it fit with alittle effort.
