I tried to replace my plugs since my car has 62K miles. I bought a thin wall socket an a torque wrench to do it. However when I was removing one plug it felt like it was cross threaded coming out. finally got the plug out and threads looked okay. I tried to install the new plug and I could not get it started by hand the side of the socket was rubbing against the side of the hole. I used a ratchet to get it going but I had to stop because it felt it might cross thread and it's aluminum is this normal?

I need help
