Special tool to change spark plugs?
Was told that the C63 needs a special tool to change out the spark plugs? Seeing the DIY posted by an E63 owner seemed like it needed nothing but a 14mm socket...any information about this?

Flexible piece of 1/4" hose to extract the plug unless your socket has a rubber grommet to hold the plug in place.

I just used the spark plug coil boot to pull out the plug once it was unscrewed. Used a 14mm deep well socket.

Jon,

thanks so much for doing the DIY...cool gold foil as well!

Do you think there is a chance that the E63 M156 differs from the C63 M156?

The torque setting for the spark plugs are 15-18 ft lbs.
