On closer inspection i noticed that the plug closest to no 1 cylinder is leaking.These plugs are very cheep from the cci, how do i get the old one out and is there any special technique tools that i need appart from being in under the exhaust manifold,sore back.anyone done this before Please let me know what im about to let myself in for .

Tap it in with a pointy thing at its top or bottom to swing it round to horizontal then pull it out.

To fit a new one use a large socket that fits fully into the cup this helps bang it in flat.
