Its not that bad to do and i would recomend learning how. On the passenger side you need to have the car jacked up real good and do the rear plug from underneath. The other three you can do from up top.
My first tune up took me alittle while. After i did a few it got to where i can do a plug change in just under a hour.

Plug change in just under an hour. Ouch. Makes you wish sometimes you were doing plugs on the DSM instead huh? I'm thinking it's about time to go to the dealership to have them do new plugs.
