FD spark plug socket sizes all the same?
Super rookie question - a search of the forums didnt have much info for the FD sizing.
- Are all the FD spark plugs going to use the same socket size?
- What size socket is needed if so? Not sure if its the common 13/16?
- Is a thin wall required, or preferred? Saw the $110 socket tool and there must be other options..
thank you!

I think you'll find that a thin-walled socket is easier, and there are casting lips around the plug hole that effectively guard the plug.
Also... if this is your first time changing them in the FD, it's WAY easier to do from under the car. The Service Manual has you pulling the intake elbow and a bunch of other stuff to do it from the top, but if you can get under the car, you can access them much easier.
Use a little anti-seize and one plug at a time.
