as mentioned the one in the standard tool kit will do the job but you can buy a socket swivel and bar attachment which will aid spark plug removal slightly better, getting at plugs on V12 motors has never been easy ,id take the original tool kit one along with you to a shop that sells spanners and socket sets etc so they have an idea of size etc , i have a socket tool swivel extension set for this job,its not a special tool just for this job but it will help slightly better, swivel socket extension bars are common enough for a variety of tasks ive had mine many many years now cant remember where i got it ? but its longer than the tool kit one, i find it helps getting plugs in and out ,do make sure you always start a new plug off by hand first before tightening with a tool its easy to strip alloy head plug threads if the plug gets cross threaded when inserting that then is a head off job ! regards
