Bought some Denso Iridium IK20s, any install recommendations?

I plan on installing these Friday evening, wanted to know if you guys had any recommendations for installing them? The front 3 look easy, the rear look like a pain. I have done hard cars (FBODY LS1s), and others, but man, this looks like I have to take apart a few things. Also what should our gap be set too? I am basically stock, except for plugs.

I got them locally for $10 each, which I thought was pretty good of a deal for local.

no gaping... budget 2 hrs minimum for the installation have an 8" ratchet extension. you need a hex key too!

Have fun.

With some practice you can do the rear 3 plugs in as quick as 15 minutes on an Accord... not sure if the CL-S has some additional things that get in the way though.

Just make sure you let the car cool down before you attempt to swap the plugs out.

I vaguely remember it taking about twenty minutes to complete all six plugs. The rears required some manuevering but not too difficult.

If you've done f-bodies were the plugs are between the exhaust manifold ports then this will be a breeze for you.

What's the hex key for? And why about 2 hrs, is there other stuff that I need to move? Thanks.

On the LS1 you have to remove the rear coil packs, exhaust egr lines and wires to get to the actual plugs, then #8 and 6 in the back required you nealing on the battery, and streching across the top of the engine. lol!!!

Yea so hopefully this will be easier.
