Default Spark Plugs / Plug wires Repalcement. Any DIY instructions on the internet ?

I want to replace spark plugs and plug wires on my '95 accord LX. The plugs and wires i purchased from NGK. I've been trying to find installation instructions with pics on the internet .. no luck so far. I know that its pretty straight forward install, but still wanna make sure i do everything right. Any links, advices will be appreciated!
Thanks!

This is definitely a flame-worthy post but I'm in a good mood

All you gotta do is remove the wires from your plugs and the dizzy. Take a 5/8 deepwell socket, extension, and ratchet and remove your old plugs. Put the new ones in and once they are snug, go a 1/2 turn more and they should be good. Put the wires back on (make a note of what point on the dizzy runs to what plug before you remove them) and your good-to-go

Just replace one wire at a time and you should have no problems

Thanks for replying!

I've read that the plugs need to be lubricated before putting them in, is that true? Also, do i need to "gap" the plugs, or they are good to go (NGK V-power)?

A little bit of anti-seize lube on the threads is a good idea but not necessary. The premium type plugs are supposedly pre -gapped but check them anyway.
