If you pull on the wrench handle and don't keep the socket or extension straight in relation to the plug, with some down force at the wrench head as you pull up on the handle, then the foam will transfer the pressure to the insulator and break it."
That is a good point. When I put the new ones on, I made sure to pull the wrench off straight. Donald H.
