Hey guys, I'm going to go pick up a torque wrench and spark plug socket to put my Denso iridium plugs in.

What size socket do I need to put in the plugs? I know its a dumb question, but I don't have my service manual with me...

Thanks

just get one socket and try it until you can unscrew it, or weasier you could have an old sparkplug that's sitting around. anyway my toolbox has a special socket for plugs. it has to be longer than the others so the end of the plug won't hit the extesion or the ratchet. Why do u need a torque wrench ? 1/4 turn is enough to tighten them plugs.

I am going to get a socket that is padded and meant for doing plugs. Thanks for the response, but I'd really like to know the size. I think I recall that it was 15mm, but I really can't remember. As for the torque wrench, I like to make sure I don't over or under tighten them, and that does the trick.
