Tools necassary for plug removal/install

I know this has been answered here within the last few weeks but I can't seem to find it and unfortunately the search is down. If someone could even point me to the link it would be much appreciated. Thanks, without this I would be going into this blind.

7mm 1/4" drive swivel, lots of extensions and a 5/8" spark plug socket. That is really it.......and some bandaids for your knuckles

Telescoping Magnet

To get the screws when you loosen them on the coils.Also to put the screws back in the coils.

Also the passenger side plugs angle back(the farthest back plug on the passenger side seemed to be the hardest).The driver side angle forward(definately easier).

One last thing-Listen for that click noise when you reattach the coils.So you know there attached.

Hope this helps

Oops, I guess the 7mm swivel head couldn't be used for the spark plugs so I guess that is all it could be used for. My bad. Thanks guys.

Only tool I use is the American Express, because my shop doesn't take Visa or Mastercard.

Here's a helpful link:

Also add a 3/8 universal to his list of tools for the passenger side rear one.
