Very easy. For a first timer it should take no longer than two hours. The left bank is easier since it can be reached without removing any ancillary items covering the bank. First remove the spark plug/coil wire cover (located on top of where a valve cover would be) by removing the eight (I believe 8mm) bolts. Remove the cover and clean and lubricate the gasket running the perimeter of the cover. You will see four "Denso" coils. These provide the spark to the plugs. Remove the connector (I use two screwdrivers. one small the other medium size) by pushing down on the clip retainer with the small screwdriver and gently prying the connector off the coil with the larger screwdriver. Do this one at a time. Next remove the two bolts (again I believe 8mm) that fasten the coil to the engine. Make sure you do not lose these bolts as they are not easy to replace. At this time the coil should be loose. Depending on the age of the vehicle and how the mechanic who last changed (if ever) them replace the coil boots, grasp with both hands and rock back and forth while lifting up to remove the coil/rubber boot assembly. If the boot does not come up with the coil don't panic. Spray a small amount of wd40 into boot and grasp boot with needle nose pliers being careful not to rip rubber while pulling out. Use a 5/8 spark plug socket and extension and remove plug. Make sure gap on new plug is .40 - .45 and smear some anti seize compound on threads. If your new plug came with a longer extension tip replace the shorter one with it by screwing it off and putting the longer one on (makes sure of good contact with extension spring inside boot assembly. Carefully replace plug, making sure not to cross thread. Use some wd40 on boot assembly end (that goes on plug) so as to allow a little lubricant for the rubber boot and place it back into the plug hole. Make sure you place the coil back the correct way (just make sure the "Denso" name is facing the same direction as the others. Replace the bolts on coil and reconnect the electrical connector so as to hear it click into place. Repeat for all four and then replace cover (make sure you put cover back the correct way so as to cover the coil/plug galley completely). Now the other bank. Repeat the same steps as previous, except this time you will need to remove the air intake. Pop off the retainers at the air filter. Remove the electrical connector and remove the two bolts at the other end of the air intake. Everything will lift out quite easily and allow you to perform the spark plug removal just as on the other bank. While you're at it you might as well replace the air filter. Replace the air intake. Voila. You are done!
