jonnyedinburgh 0 Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 I need to purchase a spark plug socket tool, what size of socket do I need (mm)? I've seen a tool and sockets on the following site, is this ideal: http://www.justoffbase.co.uk/s.nl/sc.9/category.167/it.A/id.7970/.fdoes anyone have any better recommendations?cheers Link to post Share on other sites
Justicevr6 0 Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Plug size is 10mm socket 16mm,I would have thought you are better off going to a shop and just buying the socket (about a fiver)as most people have a ratchet and bar. Link to post Share on other sites
qgoose 0 Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 I agree (with Justicevr6Sharan). Without just getting a standard socket for a ratchet fitting you may have problems tightening the plugs up to the correct torque settings.Si (V)W Link to post Share on other sites
