When you buy your new plugs, buy a cheap feeler gauge. Get the guy at the parts store to show you how to use it.
Change one plug at a time so you don't get the plug wires mixed up. When you remove the plug wires pull on the boot that is on the plug. Do not pull on the wire or it will break.
Using a deep socket (it will either be a 13/16" or 5/8") remove the plugs themselves. Turn to the left to loosen. Gap your new plugs to what ever the underhood sticker on your car says. When you install the new plugs be careful to not crossthead the plugs. Make sure you can screw them in a few turns by hand before you put the wrench to them. Tighten them down good!
