Couple suggestion, blow out the plug cavity before removing the plugs and use a piece of rubber hose attached to the plug to start in the threads to avoid crossthreading that can easily be done if you don't have a touch with a socket.

Great thread and link. Did my plugs last week. Improved my idle instantly. I also used some Deep Creep to clean out the throttle body area. The valve had some build up. I do this every time change plugs. Thanks for the info here! Helps us noobs out.
