Anti-seize is a good idea. I used it on some Italian cars I worked on years ago but I've not used on any 240s. I'll pick some up.

I've broken a couple of spark plugs on removal but both times I had the engine out of the car so extraction was easy.

Several times I've had to use a 1/2" drive to remove plugs. If they don't loosen easily with a 3/8" drive, I soak in a penetrating oil (usu Kroil), try, soak, try ... and sometimes use heat via propane.

I torque gently with a 3/8" by feel.

I've had some nice bike rides but I stopped riding several years ago. I pictured myself in court hearing a teenager "OMG I'm so sorry and I know I shouldn't be texting but I was so upset with my boy-/girl-friend ..." On a short trip this week I must have seen 30+ people texting and weaving around. And sitting at traffic lights long into the green.
