What tools are needed to change sparkplugs, can't afford to go to a specialist every time I need a service or repair problem, too exspensive, so I need to know every tool that is required to change the plugs, I have some now but not sure on how to get the plugs out that are far in the back on both sides.

7mm socket, 8mm socket, 10 mm socket 1/4 ratchet with extension.

5/8 spark plug socket, extensions, ratchet

plug gapper

recommend Torque wrench and dielectric grease

It's a 2.5-3 hour tuneup for a pro if I remember the book time. The easiest way on passenger side is to remove that whole fuse block. Drivers side you fight it.

That's why mechanics charge so much to change the plugs on one.
