Dark, I just changed my plugs for the first time and IMHO it is a pain in the ass! The rear plug requires the fingers of a contortionist midget piano player. (oh hell I am gonna get flamed by a midget now). I put in denso's Good luck.

Use some very long needle nose pliers to remove carefully the plug wires.
For the rear you need a socket with a wobbly shaft and an extension.
For the front, just take off the air scoop and use an open ended wrench.
Very simple.
Time consuming.
Takes patients.

I just changed mine over the weekend. Like any job having the right tools are 90% of the task. It took me about 20 minutes total including complete lower air box removal and re-assembly. You can do it with a good socket extension.

5/8" deep for rear, a regular box end wrench works on the front plug.
