Spark plug change - specific tools?

[everson38]

Hey guys,

Looking to change my spark plugs on my 2015 1.0 economist ford fiesta and wanted to know if there are any specific tools I'll need / anything to be aware of when doing this job?

Thanks in advance

I had to get a magnetic plug wrench. A normal one wouldn't go on the plugs.

Thanks for this , do you know the size of the spark plug tool you will need is it usual 18mm or 21mm?

You want to crush the bands, but not strip the threads. Get them tight, then give it another 1/4 turn.

Torque : 133 lb.in (15 Nm). I tighten to 13Nm, back off, and retighten to 15Nm. The factory calls out Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound/XG-3-A (ESE-M1C171-A), but I never use grease.
