You'll probably need just a spark plug puller. I haven't changed the plugs on my Mom's AV6 (they'd rather the dealer take care of all the maintennance), but I assume it's a fairly simple job. I did it on my Civic, and it wasn't that hard. As for the plugs at the back, I guess you'll just have to put your back into it, since the hood doesn't have a latch and is hydraulically actuated. =/
