Default sark plug install

Does anyone know how to install spark plugs, like what to take out and all and what tools ill need? I looked and it seems like all but 2 are going to be a bitch to get out and back in.

There is a how-to in the sticky... It's a bit different seeing how you don't have coil-on-plugs...

In most socket sets, there is a special socket that is long enough and is an exact fit for spark plugs. It's usually just referred to as the spark plug socket. You'll need that and most likely a socket to ratchet extension for taking out the plugs. For putting the new ones in, I like to use a torque wrench, but you don't have to. For cast iron heads, shoot for 10-11 foot pounds. Some manuals say 7-14, but I like a happy medium. If you don't use a torque or don't have one, just screw in hand tight and then give about a 1/2 to 3/4 turn of the ratchet to snug it up.
