They don't require a special tool on their cars to prevent overtightening.Quote:

The manual says to tighten the plug 1/8 turn after it sets.
It was a pain in the arse for me to get the spark plug out too, so I just went and spent 6 bucks (yes i got the wrench for for 6 bucks) and now its so simple a monkey could do it. You dumber than a monkey? lol:huh
Tip: Use the stock tool and put a small piece of weatherstripping up inside the hole. It gets hot in there and this will grab the plug.
hardest thing to do to one. It sucks
