You will need the correct size plug socket that has a reasonable grip on the plugs and an even greater grip on the extension. You will also need a selection of extensions for the ratchet and if I remember correctly, a universal joint for the rear plug. Another useful item will be a small mirror for the rear number six plug, as it is semi easy to get out, but terrible to get back in. The front five are easy, just make sure that you dont let the extension lean to one side too much or you may break the porcelain. Why I said "good grip on the plug" is if the plug socket does not hold the plug then it will fall out before you get it started in the threads, then its fun times trying to get it back out of those deep camshaft covers again. But if the plug socket has too much of a grip then you are likely to leave the socket attached to the plug after you have tightened the new one in to the head. Then you have to remove the plug again to get your socket back. The rear plug is the bad one. Once the old one is removed, use a mirror and a flashlight to locate the threads at the back of the cylinder head, and up against the firewall, then using the correct length extension and socket (and mirror and flashlight) start praying while trying to get the plug back in the threads without crossing them. It is at this point that you will regret not listening to me about how tight the socket grips the plug, when you remove the ratchet and extension and the socket is suck on the plug at the rear of the engine where you can't see to get the extension back into the socket. Oh the happy times Ive had changing that number six plug. Remember any resistance at all when screwing the plugs back in could mean that you have the threads crossed. Back the plug out and try again, don't force it, and only tighten it 1/4 turn extra after you have put them in finger tight.

i use black tape 2 hold the extensions together i think like 4 3inch extensions
