Default what gap for spark plug?

I havea 00 GT and want to replace all the spark plugs. Autozone told me to set the gap at .54, however, the repair manual says to set it at .52. Which one is more accurate?
are they easy to replace?

They are pretty easy to replace. The gap on 00gt should be from .052" to .056" for N/A.
You can find this info in your owners/service manual and or under the hood on the federal E.P.A. sticker.
.054" is right in the middle and is just fine. Whatever you decide to gap them, make sure to gap them all the same.

There are coil packs under the fuel rail. There are no spark plug wires. They are in between the fuel injector's. U don't have to remove the fuel rail to change them. Just take the one screw out and pull on the coil packand it should come out. Note the boot and spring connected to the coil pack are flexable so u can bend them alittle to get them out.

Right underneath your fuel rails and next to each fuel injector there is a little black thing bulted down onto the intake manifold. These are little coils that have a boot that connects to each spark plug. Take the little bolt off each one of them and the boots should pull right off. All the way at the bottom of the holes they come out of will be your spark plugs.
