Anyone know the size for the spark plug socket that I should use on my 3.0CL '97?

Thanks,

There's a special socket for the spark plug. Helps you pull it out. Should be in ur socket set.

rubber tires, windshield wipers, headlights, horn, steering wheel, BRAKE PEDAL, clutch, brake pads, driver seat, passenger seat, back seat, front windshield, rear windshield (with defroster), lumbar support, cruise control, intermitent wiper control, sun roof (tinted), engine, pistons (only 4), emergency brake handle, trunk w/ tools, spare tire

 

3/4?

Don't even bother with the socket size. First of all, even a deep socket wouldn't be able to pull the spark out. Second, if you managed to get it loose.... how would u pull it out? Pliers?

Just use the spark plus socket, it has the plug extractor in it.

to get it out just stick your spark plug wire back in once it's loose and pull it out. It acts as a suction cup

 

I realize you need a special spark plug socket to remove spark plugs, what I was asking was what size is it? I believe there are 2 different sizes out there... My Jeep uses a 3/4 I believe while my old Nissan used another size. So I wanted to know which one I needed to include in my little CL mechanic kit that I carry along with me.

Has anyone changed their spark plugs to something better? Any noticeable differences, or should I just forget about changing them yet? I only have about 30,000 miles on my 1997 3.0CL.

 

i changed mine to a racing plug that i need for the n20, but i've heard great things about those denso iridiums

well it's the smaller one. I have a metwrench set... came with 2, i use the smaller one. I heard the craftsman spark plug socket works better though.

so what you think of my advice to use the plug wire to get the plug?

Just curios, can after-market spark plugs increase your hp? If so, how much, and what companies make good spark plugs, and how much they run for?

 

CLPower. Interesting.... i had no idea it'd work? Maybe i'll give it a try. Otherwise u can stick a big magnet in there to get it out .

Oh btw, I just ordered the Denso Iridiums from A&H. Should be here on Friday. Imma make a run to the track and see if I can tear up this girl and her Accord V6!
