It's pretty easy, just need an extension on the socket. Remove the intake to make the passanger side easier. Oh and don't over tighten cause you might strip the plug, these cars are known for blowing spark plugs. Also don't over tighten the coil bolts either because they strip easily as well. If you have the after market intake manifold with the aluminum cross over there is a defect or something in it that makes some of the intake hang over the spark plug wells making it harder to get a socket in and out of it. Don't know if anyone else had this problem.
