No a normal socket set should be okay.

Good luck getting the plugs out with a standard 1/4" drive socket. If you haven't got access to a standard FTO plug tool, consider machining down a socket - fine if you've access to a lathe of course. If anyone can confirm if a particular brand of socket that will fit down the plug barrel unhindered, post it here.

Its a GR model, not a GPX...

Same plug barrel diamter IIRC. Last time I changed plugs on a GX, a standard socket (Draper) wouldn't fit.

Same story on silver gr scrapper, Halfords socket wouldn't fit.

Dave, can you list the socket / socket set manufacturer, it would be helpful to others.....
