13/16 1/2" drive deep socket. NOT a spark plug socket, just a normal deep socket.

You are correct Sir. I meant 13/16..... 3/4 inch wrench needed for spark plug wires.

Re: Need a correct socket for Spark Plugs
Be careful when tightening the nuts for the wires. Just snug is enough as your Jeep will probably not be used for swimming. What happens when the nuts are too tight is that the threaded barrel end of the spark plugs will roll inward and form a wire edge that grips the red insulation and will cause the soft red insulation to split.
Just finger tight is sufficient.
