Quote from Miniminter on March 16, 2022, 9:35 amYou'll need just a few tools to change out the spark plugs. The most important tool is a socket wrench with an extension and a spark plug socket. Spark plug sockets come in two sizes: 5/8 inches and 13/16 inches. Most spark plugs require a 5/8" (16mm) size spark plug socket. This refers to the size of the flats on the spark plug that are in contact with the socket. This spark plug requires the 5/8" spark plug socket, which will probably fit a 3/8 ratchet extension. Most spark plug sockets have a rubber insert that holds the plug snugly in place.
