Hello, I found the location of the spark plug, and was able to get the tool down over the plug, but there is not enough room to turn it or even fit the screwdriver through the holes. Are there more steps I'm missing? thanks for your help

Looks like you need a regular spark plug socket and a flexible ratchet.

What do you other LX 50 owners use?

thank you for your reply, I was thinking maybe some kind of ratched , maybe that's why the tools have never been opened

Usually that tool is the only one worth keeping from the kit as it's perfect for getting the plug out.
You can probably pull it out a bit and it will still work.

I use a short piece of a car's fuel line slipped over the plug to make it easier to start to screw the plug in.

I just changed the plug in my LX 150. Not sure if it's the same as the LX 50. I ended up disconnecting the rear shock and jacking the body up a bit. That gave me enough room to work in the tight area. Major PITA.
