Some advice i would offer... find a extension for your deep socket that is less than 3".. but above 2".. some like 2.4" inches is perfect. These dont come in the standard socket sets.. but it was essential for me in order to finish the last plug today (cylinder 4)


vaccum tube also helps alot to get the plug in initially.. again almost essential in my experience


my hands are demolished
Spend the extra 20mins jacking the engine up to save you several hours and dozens of scratches next time. Not necessary but 10times easier.
