    Spark Plug Socket Size?

    I did a tune up yesterday; Cap and Rotor, Spark Plug Wires, Oil and Oil Filter, Fuel Filters (kragen sold me the wrong secondary one so getting that one later), and Spark Plugs. All have been installed except for the wrong Secondary Fuel Filter and the spark plugs. I thought my Spark Plug socket that came with my Craftmans tool set would work, but it doesn't. The Spark Plug socket is 5/8 with some rubber in it. The socket doesn't reach long enough and is too small for the spark plug. so what size and length deep socket do you use in order to remove and replace? thanks!
