2009 Acura RDX change spark plugs

long story short dealership wants $600 to change spark plugs so I asked google how to DIY and there are literally NO posts for how to change 2009 RDX spark plugs!

does anyone have a video or a thread that explains how to change spark plugs on a 2009 RDX?
THANKS!

Here is a link from my Dropbox for the 2007 RDX service Manual: https://www.dropbox.com/s/y3oyrs1nds...ANUAL.pdf?dl=0

At page 4-20 shows how to remove the ignition coils and 4-22 shows the required gap and type of plugs needed.

Here is a pdf from my ETS intercooler install; but, it has step-by-step instructions on how to remove the OEM intercooler: https://www.dropbox.com/s/m48dvxrhj6...tions.pdf?dl=0

There's a thread in the DIY section as well. Not sure all the images load but there are some good tips in there.

I have pics toward the bottom of page 1 showing how to remove the TMIC. From there the rest is a cakewalk to anyone with basic wrenching skills/experience. Be careful when buying spark plugs though - Amazon lists a couple that "fit", but with different gaps. Where ever you buy plugs, make sure they are pre-gapped to OEM spec (you should not try to adjust the gap of an iridium plug).
