The outside diameter of the Sockets made by different Companies varies; especially on deep Sockets. The cheapie deep Socktes tend to have a lagter OD (and are often shorter) than the better quality ones. So you need to use what ever fits.
5/8" is a common Spark Plug Socket so if someone has a gasser they are likely to have one.
I only posted the 16mm because that is what I actually used to do the Job. I cant remember if I just grabbed it first Socket I thought would fit or took some time trying out different ones to see which one fit the best.
