Might want to invest in a swivel socket as well. Made the job 100x easier for me

Most of my rubber boots were stuck to the plug and ripped. Not a happy camper...

I had the sam problem. Luckily I found this on Amazon Prime


LEXIVON 5/8" Swivel Magnetic Spark Plug Socket, 3/8" Drive x 10" Total Length | Enhanced Magnetic Design With Thin Wall Socket, Cr-v Steel (LX-122)

Worked like a charm

The walking thread... But really, I heard for years on other forums where they encouraged everyone to SEARCH for answers before asking a question that has already been answered.

Now I find it horrible when this happens and I would prefer a guest or member to just ask... This way I don't have to read through all that old crap to understand what they think they understand.
Just my US nickel (that is only worth two cents today)

Thank you
I have a subscription to "All data DIY" it says in the spark plug replacement procedures for my 2010 Dodge Dakota 4.7 that it takes a "thin wall 5/8 socket". I found 1 on Amazon that references Chrysler. I just ordered it let you know if it works.
