The factory sparkplug tool is the best. If you do not have one then a good sparkplug socket wrapped in some duct tape so it does not disengage inside the head works well also.

I use a 10mm allen socket on a 3/8" ratchet instead of the factory 10mm allen wrench from the tool kit.

Anti sieze is a must, (for the next time you remove the plugs.

Very important....DO NOT OVER TORQUE the new plugs. Spin them in hand tight then just snug a little,

Don't forget to tighten the little nipples on the top of the plugs if they are there.

In general it's a very easy job as long as you can squeeze your hand past any obstructions.

Good Luck
