not really. remove plug wires, remove plugs, put new ones in, replug wires. that's all. you might want a plug socket to hold the plugs while pulling them out of the head.

Yes you will want to unscrew the old ones and take them out before putting the new ones in.

:chuckles: I used to have the problem of ripping the spark plug clip off the end of the wire. It got expensive to replace the wire set and plugs. h:

isn't there an issue of gapping the plugs? The only plugs I've heard of that don't require gapping are the Bosch Platinum +4...
