Thanks for the info, Matt! Tough call for me, either spend $50 to make my shop do it, or spend a little more; and get a torque wrench, some compressed air and solvent. Not to mention a decent rubberized socket that won't get stuck in the cylinder head, the one I have now has a much tighter grip on the plug than the drive.
I noticed you have the same wires and plugs. How many miles were on your car when you switched, and did you notice anything different (or better)?
