5/8th spark plug socket
3/8th drive ratchet
Any extension over 8" should do the trick

Don't forget your 3/8 drive torque wrench for the completion of installation.

I always hand tightened, then torqued 3/4 of a turn roughly.

On NGKs, I believe it tells ya what to do if you don't have a torque wrench.
