BHR Ignition Install Tools

I've been searching through the threads on the BHR Ignition Kit to find what I'll need to do the install myself with only a little luck. Does anyone know of a thread that lists all the tools I'll need to do this install? I'm relatively new at doing work under the hood, so any tips and advice are much appreciated!

depending on if you have the original airbox or not the only real tool I needed was a 10mm flexi head ratchet spanner oh and a few bandaids.

Currently, everything I have is stock including the air filter box. I also ordered a new set of spark plugs to go with the kit. Will I need anything special for the installation of those? Thanks. I feel like such a greenhorn..

10 mm ratchet and an 8-10" extension is nice

Spark plugs...need a spark plug socket and a long extension with a swivel on it to make it easy....Easiest if ou remove the drivers wheel..then you have nice easy access

You need a bit of neversieze for the plug threads...and just be careful not to cross thread them...always hand tighten them till they are seated before you stick the wrench on them

Pretty much what dannobre said, just have patience with the install, getting the bhr coils mounted and tightned down takes some patience, its a real tight fit so take your time.

I have a 5/8 in spark plug socket. Is that the right size for oem spark plugs? Thanks again for the advice guys!

Rumor has it Charles Hill can install the BHR ignition kit with nothing but a kitchen butter knife.
