If you are going to change EB or really any other engine spark plugs, get this!
I have now changed plugs on my two EB trucks and about 5 others for friends and co-workers. This tool has by far made the job 10 times easier.
GearWrench 80546 5/8-Inch x 6-Inch Swivel Spark Plug Socket
http://amzn.com/B0014ZVSVK
This socket has magnetic internals so it holds onto the plug securely and has a swivel joint built into the end of the extension to allow for a little more movement. You can change every plug on the EB with only this extension on your 3/8" ratchet. An extra 4" extension does make a few of them easier, but it can all be done without it.
The other spark plug sockets I've used just have a rubber insert to hang onto them. When you get them into the head and secure, then you end up pulling the extension off of the socket still inside the head. This socket makes things light years easier to change really any plug.
I did the plugs on my 13 EB this morning and took less than 40 minutes to do the entire job start to finish. I'm going to get them changed on my Supra as well here shortly and that I'm sure will be another quick job with this tool.
Just thought I'd pass it along in case anyone wants to make it easier
