Has anyone else had this problem ?

I'm trying to replace the spark plugs on my 96' 2.5 TL.
I can remove all with ease except for the third (middle) spark plug.
I can't insert my 5/8 socket wrench in all the way, it seems like a rubber gasket is blocking it.
Also, the spark plug wire for that cylinder is thinner than the others. So I'm thinking the 3rd cylinder is special/different ?
Did Acura specifically make the 3rd spark plug hard to remove ?

I see. Thanks for the reply.

I guess that means the rubber around the third spark plug cable must have broke off and is stuck in the cylinder. I'll try to use long pliers and get it out.
