Mine's a 14mm spark plug socket, the actual socket size is 21mm I think.

Its definatly NOT 21mm, i went to fit some new ones yesterday then realised my 21mm spark plug socket was way too big. I THINK they need a 16mm socket. Thats what I've ordered off ebay anyway!

 

[Da]

What make are you trying to fit?

I'm 99% sure they're 14mm thread and 21mm socket.

16mm deep socket if you dont have a proper sparkplug socket

16mm deep socket if you dont have a proper sparkplug socket

Thanks for the simple answer

Don't see the point buying a 'tool' when I've got a set of deep sockets anyway.

make sure you torque them up PROPERLY, i dont torque anything up but i always make sure i do plugs, too many horror storys of them blowing plugs out the head!
