I just changed mine about 2 weeks ago, no need to remove Fuel Rails! Make sure you dont that was my mistake extra work!!!! I went with Bosch Iridium Plugs I heard ill never have to change them again! Iridium is the top of the LINE!!!! The only thing that was hard was the two plugs on the passenger side by the firewall but just take your time and you will be fine! Patience is a Virtue LOL! Anti-Sieze also!

If you don`t want to risk the dreaded "Spark Plug Blowout", where the plug on one of the cylinders exits the engine taking the threads in the head with it.Don`t even think of changing the plugs without a torque wrench. Tighten the plugs down to 11-13 foot pounds. After about a week of running, recheck them for tightness when the motor is stone cold.

And a good way to waste your $......

Stick with Autolite coppers. Be creative with something else....
