Oh no, I haven't seen a spark plug wrench that deep. I do have one open at both ends you stick a bar through but with the stem that long there is no way to run the bar through. You might remove the bar and grab it with large Vice Grips I suppose. That does not mean they don't make one that long but I have never seen one.
4 inches though, that beggar must poke you in the $$$ when you are showering?
