I am trying to change my spark plugs and none of the plug sockets that I have will fit.

Does anyone know what size I need to get?

Thanks

Think it's 18 mm, check your handbook/manual.

Sears has an 18mm spark plug socket that will work. I also have a Cobalt (from Lowe's) 18mm deep socket that is the same size as the Sears. It needs to be thin enough to get down there.

Yup, the 18mm sparkplug socket from Sears was actually cheaper then the 18mm thinwall socket from Sears.

I knew there had to be a use for a Porsche Boxter.

The Nology Silver plugs in my bike require a 16mm (or 5/8") socket.
