Default Before pulling trigger on TR6ix's....

Do I need to worry about the thread size or are all the NGK TR6ix's the same? (and will fit in our cars). google seems to think 14mm is the standard but I wanted to consult the experts on here first lol

Thanks man. And is there any trick to make it easier to get out the plugs? I've heard warming up the engine a little beforehand. And do they need to be torqued at all?

They should come out fairly easy if they were put in correctly. And torque to 11 lb ft.

Nope just wait till a Saturday morning and take em out. For the rear I always pull coil packs and work.

The rears are easier if you rock that motor forward and stab the e brake keeping it forward. Gains you a few inches which is just enough to get your hand in there. The number 8 plug is a bitch as the transmission tube and more is right in the way.
