you need a spark plug tool with which you need to unscrew/screw them in. Hve you got that?
First, you'll have to remove the coil packs.

I would strongly urge you to buy the Haynes manual if you have no experience. This will save you money on many occasions in the future. http://www.haynes.co.uk/webapp/wcs/...10001&storeId=10001&productId=13007&langId=-1
Briefly you will have to remove the black plastic air duct from the MAF/AIR FILTER to the throttle body first- slides sideways-then unscrew the cover plate on the cam cover to reveal either the long spark plug ht leads (early models) or the 2 spark coils and ht leads (1 per 2 plugs) be extremely careful when moving any of the wiring as the insulation can get very brittle ( due to close proximity to engine heat) then its just a case of removing the plugs via a sparkplug socket and suitable long extension. when replacing check the gap is correct 0.8mm and don't overtighten them in the alloy head.
