About to tackle spark plugs

Hey guys.

Looked through many pages of doing spark plugs and noticed some conflicting things….

Some people say there are one time use bolts that need to be replaced.

Here is a video that also references that and has the part numbers as well (I will probably email my SA and ask to get these parts to buy)

However some people say you do not have to do that.

I am also looking at getting hopefully the right spark plug socket that is super thin walled and magnetic.

Lastly, anything for you recent spark plug changers that I need to be aware of?

Saw that TopJimmy also recommended some like 10mm plastic tubing to tighten the spark plugs by hand but kinda confused if that is necessary because that video and others just have the socket. But I wouldnt mind if its a great tip for success.

You know the tips and tricks. The “I wish I woulda known this/that”

I am excited to tackle this and keep her in great shape. I did the AA EL midpipe recent and ready to continue my journey on doing my own installs.

Ordering from fcp euro due to their warranty.
