Not much to it, really. Helps to have one of the spark plug sockets with the rubber grommet inside of it that holds onto the plug since they're way down in those wells. Try to clean all the dirt and stuff out of the wells before you take the plugs out so that it doesn't end up in the cylinders. Gap the plugs, apply a little dielectric grease, put 'em in, put the coil back on and you should be good to go.

I thought cops usually needed doughnuts for removal. "Come over here, Mr. Cop! I've got a whole box of Krispy Kremes for you!"
Bad Nathan, no goofiness in tech threads. Baaaaaad...

99 panther I did needed a 7mm...
Once you get the COP uplugged and the bolt loose, they slide right out from under the fuel rail. The last one on the driver side would have been a lot easier with a 7mm 1/4 drive swivel...
BIG ditto on getting the dirt out of the plug hole with compressed air... "dust off" wont do it...Pete ::::>>> resident LED addict and CFI defector LED bulb replacements
