5/8" spark plug socket is what you need. Do not just use a regular socket make sure you use a spark plug specific socket you can get one at your local parts store if you dont have one.

It doesnt have to be a spark plug spcefic socket. You just wont have the rubber thing inside on top that grabs the plug to pull it out. A regular deep socket works fine if you are a good fisherman

Why spend the money on a new coil pack if you werent positive that was the problem, and before checking/replacing the plugs?

16mm long reach socket required then use the coil pack rubber end to lock onto the plug to get it out ( I use an extension magnet ), if you have the tools that came with the car there is a long reach plug socket with it
