what! its very easy. you need the spark plug socket though. then take off wire/ coil pack and swap them out. dont tighten too much though. and you may need to gap them

It the same as any plug change with any car. Use the right size socket, the rear bank will be a bit hard to reach. Use anti seize on the threads since the heads are aluminum.

use a hex tool to remove the coil packs. dont gap the plugs until you check them. Im using iridium plugs and i wouldnt gap those since the electrode is so thin.
anti-seize is a must, but you dont need a lot on, just a light coating.

Its fairly easy as everyone has said.If you have done any plugs its very simiular.Take off the front plastic thhat say 3.2 vtec.pull the connectors of the coils,the front and the rear.You dont have to worry about them getting mixxed up cuz they will hang where they belong.Now remove the allen screws in each of the coils(#6 allen key).They coils should come out very easy with a slight twist.pull them carefully there fragaile.Set them on the intake where they would go being carefull not to mix them.Use a 5/8" sparkplug socket with a 6"extension to loosen them.They might not come out but dont worry.either use a magnet with a 6" reach or you can use a section of 3/16" air/fuel line and put it on the tip and twist it on,then you'll be able to pull the plugs out.Install new plugs,button up the front in reverse order.And go to the back and do the same.Its definitly easyer on the rear bank to use a magnet only cuz you can not see the tip of the spark plugs.I did mine a couple of days ago with no magent and the rear to me 15-20 of time trying to fish like a blind man.front only took 5 minutes. Hope this helps

He thinks that because his car has had 198,000 views that it's the best.

REJCKT: I did click the link,but I did also think that was your ride.And its a very hot car with all the upgrades.And 198,000 hits is crazy on domain.my car was on there for like a year now,and I held the #1 spot for cl's for about 4-5 months and I only have 15,000 hit hits.Sorry for complimenting on the car that was not yours.
I'm not thred jacking,just trying to compliment a hot acura.
