960 sedan 1995 changing spark plugs

Post by osceolazulu »

I have brought spark plugs but have not installed them because I am not sure of the tools needed. I read Spark Plug Change Tutorial: Volvo 850, S70, V70, XC70, C70 but do not know if Tutorial applies to 1995 960's.The Tutorial list 5 spark plugs my Volvo takes 6 so it apears there are ome differences. Need assistance in finding correct tools, (do I use Tutorial T30 Torx head or Torx 24), do need 10mm socket or 5/8 socket-or both? Is there a tutorial for 960's?
Thanks for any assistance

T-25 Torx bit; 5/8" socket is standard for all spark plugs. Other than that, they are essentially the same engine as an S80, so this should help you with the coil packs & all.
