Sparkplug socket questions

Post by Smaug »

a) What size does it need to be?

b) Will a normal one fit, or is a special articulated one needed?

5/8 inch spark plug socket or a deep socket will get it no problem.

Thanks bud. I've got a 5/8" spark plug socket, but I'm not sure if it has the gasket intact, which actually holds onto the plug. Need to make sure I have some copper grease for the threads.
