Im baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacccckkkk ;]

Standard 5/8'' spark plug socket will get the job done. I suggest removing the rear coil pack assembly, when doing the rear set of plugs. Waay easy after that is removed a few connectors and a 10mm socket. No need to remove front motor mount, this ain't no v6..

Some people make things more complicated then they need to be. No need to remove engine mounts or tilt the engine. Be a Man and get your hands back there and do it. No special tools required. Just common sense and patience...

Make sure you put anti seize on the spark plugs on the install and Dielectric Grease for the wires. Also dont overtighten remember the heads are aluminum.
