No. The spark plugs are responsible for igniting the fuel in the cylinders. If you start yanking them out, the engine is going to stop running.

This is covered in the book Things That Dummies Do.

How do you replace the spark plugs in a 97 Camry v4?

Remember the order of spark plug wires while connected. Disconnect spark plug wires. Make sure that there is no sand or dirt around before removing the plugs. Remove the spark plugs. It's a good idea to have a magnetic spark plug socket. Insert a new spark plug in the socket, be careful, do not drop the plug. Usually plugs come with preset gap and do not need adjustment. If you change gap most likely you will have to get a new spark plug. Install spark plugs. The torque should be around 45 N*m. Connect the wires in the order. Start the engine.
