I just used a ratchet and can't remember the size but a normal socket and some extensions, I remember them coming out pretty easily on mine, the only one that was a pain was the back right I believe, thats where you had to assemble the extensions within the deep hole that the spark plug is in.

Its all about leverage. You cannot get very much leverage with one of those. Try a ratchet and socket. shawn

Whatever you do, take your time and DO NOT use more leverage than a standard 3/8" ratchet.
When you reinstall, make sure to use some anti-seize thread treatment.
As for the right way to get them out, I can't remember, so I'm staying mum.

When re-installing, be VERY sure that the threads are engaged properly & not cross threaded before applying any torque with a wrench.
Turn em' in as far as possible by hand, then after you're sure the threads are catching, use the wrench.

Check your MAP sensor. My check engine light came on, I went to Auto Zone to have it read...... It was either my MAF sensor or MAP sensor. I replaced my MAP...... and the light went off. Hasnt come on since.

Also, besides the anti-seize thread compound, don't forget the lub for the sparkplug boot. Will make your life so much easier next time, trust me.

Ok whats anti sieze and lub for the boot?
And where and what is the MAP sensor?
