Sparkplugs on 172/182 what tools do i need ?

[cleo]

Hi, i am changing my plugs on my 172 (its 38K on the clock, an almost 5 yr old) I have been reading on the forum an NGR plugs seem to be regarded as the best, so i will get them by sat. Is this something a novice can do ? and do I need any special tools for removing the cover etc ? (I know the engine cover as the torx screws which i have a tool for) anythiong else I need to watch for ? thanks

I think you need to take plenham off, and prob another specialist tool for getting the b******s out!!

Spark plug socket, basic spanners and sockets only to get the plenum off (doesn't need to come off fully).
