On my 1992 four cylinder Toyota Camry, the spark plugs are way down inside the housing and after removing the wire cap nut, I still cannot get the socket onto the plug to remove it. I am out of work at this time and have to do it myself, Enlighten me please. Thank you.

  Get a good flash light and make sure there are no rubber pieces from the ignition cables fallen into the base of the plugs. Sometimes we need to use compressed air to blow them out so the socket can slide all the way down.
  Are you using spark plug socket or just a regular socket?

  I am using a spark plug wrench. Thanks, there does seem to be a rubber grommet above the nut on the plug. Your answer, made me thing that I should remove the next wire and see if it is the same. I just checked and all remaining three were proper. I made a hook out of a hanger and pulled out the grommet, that had came free from the spark plug wire. Thanks again. krr

  Looks like you need to get new ignition cables also. I suggest to get the NGK brand, nothing else works like that.
