I just got through with mine... no problems! you will need a 7mm and a deep well 9/16 and a couple of extentions for both. I didnt have a 9/16 with the rubber in it to hold the plug to get it out so I just put a piece of electrical tape halfin and half out of the socket and it was enough to pull and put the plugs back in! I feel so much better... my plugs had alot of carbon on them.

How many miles are on your car? Did you follow the TSB instructions or just straight yank em out? What year model is yours?

and I forgot, you will need a torque wrench. 25 lbs is not very tight, but thats what it calls for, so you dont want to over tightn them, but I know the factory one where in there alot tighter than that.
