The same way for any other car. Make sure you have the proper spark plugs, wires and (as in my case, ignition coil; which usually shouldn't have to be replaced for the life of the car). DO NOT REMOVE ALL THE SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES, AS YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO START YOUR CAR AGAIN UNLESS YOU KNOW THE FIRING ORDER. Do one at a time. Use a ratchet with an extension and 5/8" spark plug socket. The extension is to avoid busting up your knuckles. Please make sure your spark plug socket has a rubber gasket in the top of it, this will hold the spark plug for you. Loosen and remove. Reinstall is reversed.
