What size of socket do I need to take off the spark plugs, and what is the torque amount I need to use to put them back on ?

because of aluminum heads do while engine is cold use anti seize on threads of new plugs. you will need a 5/8" socket to remove them it may need be deeper than normal depending on what plug you use.
