EASY!
1) twist/Pull out spark plug wire
2) using ratches w/ extension and correct socket for spark plug unscrew spark plug (plug should come out with socket)
3) make sure gap is set correct
3) put new plug in socket and hand tighten using the extension only
4) w/ ratchet on again slightly tighten to snug (NOT OVER TIGHTEN!)
5) plug wire in again
6) repeat to new cylinder until all cylinders are done

Don't forget, when you replace the wires do them one at a time so you don't mix them up.

yes very good idea it can cause some headaches and some noobishness when you forget where they go, so i dont want to come back on here tomorrow and see "What are the plug location on the distributor" thread okay

If your not sure what to do then get a Haynes or Helms service manual for your car and follow its intsructions.

but first be sure that the motor had cool down before you happy on the spark plug.
