stop yelling!

you dont need to remove the fuel rails or anything

just loosen the screw that holds the COP in place near the fuel rails and pull it out. there is enough clearance, unless you have bear claws for hands

MAKE SURE YOU CHANGE THEM WHEN THE MOTOR IS COLD!!!

DON'T OVERTOURQE THE PLUGS OR ELSE IT WILL STRIP THE THREADS AND YOU WILL ROCKET A PLUG OUT OF THE MOTOR WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT!!! IT'S AROUND 13-14LBFT TO TIGHTEN THEM PROPERLY.

I NEVER USE A TOURQE WRENCH, I GO BY FEEL AND JUST MAKE SURE THEY ARE SNUG, BUT NOT OVERTOURQED.

IF YOU WANT YOU CAN USE A LITTLE LITTLE BIT OF ANTI-SIEZE ON THE THREADS AS GOOD MEASURE.

I would just leave the damn things! How many miles are on the engine? Most likely it doesn't even need them.
