Nothing wrong with the NGK Iridium
They will last for a damn long time
Remember plugs , filter , oil, fluid, tyres , brakes ,fuel, etc are all consumables item

Either or
Whatever you can lay your hands on easier
My preferred choice is NGK

Define "special" ?
I have a Crescent tool kit that has two different sized plug socket and one of these does the trick
The plug socket has from memory a small rubber grommet in the bottom of it
Other then that , nothing special about the socket

I only have a small socket set with different sizes for normal bolts ? Do I need a specific size or tool to undo the spark plug?

The spark plug socket I use is a 5/8 of an inch
They are a deep socket and have a rubber grommet in them that help protect the top of plug and help grip it so it doesn't fall out so you can insert it with out the plug dropping off and damage to the electrode happen
No doubt you can get them for under $10 at Autobarn or Supercheap auto
Did a quick check and this should do the trick

Yea looks like I need a longer/extension to reach the spark plug, I got the cover off and the coil...
Do coils need to be replaced every so often?

K&n is a bit dear?
Or will the K&n last a really long time?
What other brand should I get?
