hey guys,

 

 i'm looking to change my spark plugs, and i'm stuck, any recommendations? Preferably on the cheaper side of things.

 

also any idea of the socket size to fit? I've bought four now each doesn't fit. I've bought:

14mm sparkplug tool (t-bar with socket at the bottom) - was to big to fit in engine block

14mm sparkplug socket - too big again to fit in block

14mm narrow sparkplug socket - too small to fit the nut at the bottom I think. It just seems to spin, can't feel it grab the nut.

    You have to push the spark plug socket on hard, the rubber gripper will just spin around the top bit otherwise.  Push down while turning and it should locate.

    That is assuming they are 14mm ones lol!
