protects the exterior and interior of your car from harmful elements, road grime, stains and normal wear and tear.
The most important tool is a socket wrench with an extension and a spark plug socket. Spark plug sockets come in two sizes: 5/8 inches and 13/16 inches. Most spark plug sockets have a rubber insert that holds the plug snugly in place. You may also need a universal joint if your spark plugs are difficult to reach.
Subsequently, question is, are spark plugs universal? While you should buy spark plugs in matching sets for your vehicle, not all spark plugs are universal. Spark plugs come in different sizes with different gaps and are manufactured using a variety of metals.
Furthermore, how many different size spark plugs are there?
There are currently three spark plug thread diameter and pitch sizes used on motorcycles and ATVs: 10 mm x 1.0, 12 mm x 1.25 and 14 mm x 1.25. There are currently two thread reaches (lengths) used: 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch. Never use a spark plug of the wrong reach.
Can you use a regular socket for spark plugs?
You can use a regular socket, with that being said you need to be very careful. A spark plug socket has a washer on the end so that socket is always sitting fully down and straight. With a regular socket you will have wobble at the top.
