Did you attach the socket extension?

I'm not sure how it works in VR as I don't have it myself, but in desktop mode you press 'Y' (If i remember correctly) to attach / remove the extension bar. (something in the context menu or whatever it is? No idea what that is myself, but keep seeing VR users talk about it).

As long as that extension bar is attached you should be able to remove the plugs without pulling the cam cover off or touching anything else. Removing the plug leads should be all you need to do.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for helping to clarify that one for me.
Can be kinda tricky to try and help VR users out when you've never even seen a VR set in action! ;D
(or even on a shop shelf for that matter!)

Dear lord thank you. Been failing sparkplug missions because of this.

Ironically i got the "extension" tuto text after the mission... had no idea the extension thing existed, i was trying to buy it off the store and couldn't find anything.
