Default quick plug question..

When putting on the new plugs do you guys stop at hand tightening as long as they're snug? Already destroyed 2 plugs during this process of tightening and loosening.

And also, the hardest plugs are 5 and 6!!! Havent even gotten the old ones out there yet and I have everything out of the way besides the LTs.

I hand tightened all and turned them maybe 1/4 turn with a socket, I noticed it can be a pain to fit the socket on the plug with the heads so tight to it

1st time can be a pain, I did mine twice, second time around was under 2 hrs for all 8

Torque them down to spec if your not sure how tight it should feel.
