Make sure you get the one with the rubber insulator inside. It helps holding the plug for cylinder #7

I didn't have that particular tool but yup universal + a couple of extentions+ socket is the key on that plug.

Very nice, and a good price, the one that does the same job from one of those tool trucks is about $30+, obviously because of the "Name" on it. Ask me how I know...

I like the SnapOn swivel head ratchet; a must have for many jobs

I just took all my plugs out and put anti-seize on the threads and dielectric grease on the boots. The problem isn't so much getting to the plug under the brake booster but getting the $%#@&* boot off. You can't get you hand in there enough to twist and pull it. Be careful when using a swivel socket that you don't break the insulator when putting it back in.
