Please excuse my ignorance as I am not mechanically minded.
Can you please tell me what size of socket is needed to remove a spark plug on my 67 plate Jimny.
Thanks.

Code:
My plug socket is marked 10mm, from auto store Halfords UK.

Not to be confused with a 10 socket which is for M6 fittings and much smaller.

Yokohama Geolanders, Sony head unit, NAUTILUS Air Horn, DRL conversion, Rear cargo space, Elvis Bobblehead, transfer Guard, Indian hanging Elephant, Koni Heavy track dampers, Custom SS exhaust, Voodoo Doll, Adventure Rack with LED ight bar, vintage ERIBA caravan usually attached (yes it's slow)

You want a Sealey AK6552 socket. 16mm across the flats (generally referred to as a 10mm plug socket. 250mm long and 3/8 drive with knurled end for finger tight installation it's the one to have for the Jimny. Chris.

How far down into the head are the spark plugs on a Jimjam, it's a long time since I removed mine!

If they're further down than you can reach with your pinkies, a spark plug socket with a rubber insert to grip the plug to pull it out and then lower it into the thread straight to prevent cross threading is really useful.

My plug socket is like the sealey one posted
but has a strong magnetic ring to hold the spark plug
