breaker bar or something to provide more/better leverage on the ratchet. But of course be careful not to strip/break anything. And remember, take pictures of the setup/everything when youre done...

Its was very easy for me when I was doing a intake manifold swap at the same time...So if you dont wanna take that off I suggest going underneath the car and remove the oil filter cause one plug is right next to it.Also remove the stock black box and everything connected to it so you have room to work with underneath.

With the intake manifold off its ALOT easier, or the motor out of the car.
Its a 14mm allen wrench, if you can find a Snap on socket with the Allen wrench on it, much easier too.
Goodluck, mine were a bitch the first time around.

put 2 nuts on the end of the 14mm bolt, tighten them together, then use a wrench on the inner nut (between head of bolt and last nut).

i took my intake manifold off, made it alot easier, i was stripping the walls from trying to do it underneither the car, so i said forget it, im taking the intake mani out, and with a good breaker bar, they came right out, good thing i took it out, i looked at one of the plugs, it held barely enough to break them loose, walls were stripping pretty bad, good luck
