I got sick of the rubber insert coming out of the socket and sticking on the plug, so I changed mine for magnetic ones......a good move, I think.
Remember those taper seat plugs on the iron head Kent series? Had a couple of those shear off, which was a sphincter twitching moment

My rubber insert is actually for a bigger socket, or maybe even it was for something completely different but for now it jams in a long socket well.

Cheers for the advice guys, I'm putting the actual service of for a short while, it has an MOT in the morning and too many other things are in the way - I doubt a service is essential

All the plug changes I've done in recent years have been the slim 14mm type and the socket I use, I got in a 2nd hand bricabrack shop and it works just fine, just the right amount of grip.

Change the plugs with the engine cold and keep the socket nice and straight straight.
