Its a iridium plug so life is very long. Running tr6's will help take out a lot of KR.

Has anybody had any trouble getting their socket onto the #1 plug (front driver side)?

I tired 2 different sockets, the outer diameter seems just a touch too big to get past whatever is keeping it from sliding down the rest of the way onto the plug...

Anybody have any feedback? I really gotta get at that spark plug and I don't wanna have to pay out the nose to have it replaced because my socket doesn't fit - lol.

I use a duralast (autozone) magnetic plug socket works fine for me

Anyone else curious, do what they say above, buy stock wires and plugs, remove the rear coil rail completely, have a couple different size extensions, a couple 90 degree elbows, ratchet, small breaker bar and be patient - it's actually not bad at all. My first attempt was a complete success with no hang ups.

Also, do as they say and change the O2 sensor, it is right there and comes of easy. You don't want to have to remove everything again a few months later just to change it.
