i used the standard sockets, ones that came in my tool box but they didnt work either to small or 2 big.. was wondering if i need a special tool.. im guessing like 18mm socket cause 17mm was a bit to small but the 18mm socket wouldnt fit into the hole for the sparkplug. s14 engine.

I think it's 11/16 thinwall. Hazet sells the piece, and turner sells the same piece for 20 bucks more.

the tool in the trunk for the wheel bolts... can it be used for the spark plugs? cause i seen someone saying im glad i still got mine from the trunk and thats the only one i see in the kit that would come close to being a socket

youre very lucky to have that
it should have like a rubber circle inside of it. if it it does, thats for the spark plugs
