How do I change the plugs when they go into a plastic enclosure and I can't see the threads?

Get some rubber hose that the spark plug will slide up into tightly, about six inches will do for most situations like this. This method will allow you to start a spark plug without the possibility of stripping the threads. Bye the bye, most all cylinder heads are made of aluminum and not iron these days. NEVER remove spark plugs while the engine is hot. The spark plugs are  steel and they are stronger than the aluminum, when hot they are swollen and can easily strip your aluminum threads. Then you have a Real problem.
