when i put sparks in, i usually wait until the resistance kicks in, then a quarter turn on the socket.

Look in your haynes manual for the correct torque setting and torque them in.

i normally use a deep 16mm socket and a extension bar and half inch rachet works ok for me,and when u put them back just nip them up so there tight,don't torgue them in or they will snap in ur block

do i need to have some special tool to get them out? i've got a 1.4 16v and the spark plugs are a good 3-4inches down in the block.

also when i get them out is there any specific tightness i should put on them?

cheers
