In the "How To" section, you'll find some helpful posts for replacing spark plugs.
This thread is a video demonstrating how to remove the intake manifold and change the plugs:

This thread has good pictures:

This thread also has good pictures, but one caveat - the spark plugs are incorrectly numbered in a picture. Dr. Dome is correct: plug #3 is the middle plug on the firewall side. But other than this numbering oops, the thread is very helpful.

intake
Its really not that hard. After taking the air box off, the the front three are exposed. Now take off the plug on the lower part of the throttle body.take off the 2 lines on the top of the intake.
These are shark grip locks. Push down on the outer ring and pull up on the line. Next take off the big hose going from the intake to the valve cover. Now there are 4 10mm bolts.
One on a bracket behind the throttle body about 4 inches down. The next 3 are behind the intake. holding the wire harness. push the harness against the fire wall. The 3rd one is under the bolt on the right side 4 inches down (looking at the intake from the front of the car).
Next take off the wire clip on top and the 2 on the imt valves. Now use a 8mm and take off the bolts going down into the engine. After taking the 7 bolts off, take the intake up and swing towards the front of the car.
Remember all the coolent lines are still attached. And now you have access to the 1,3,5 plugs.
Any questions feel free to pm me.
Good luck,
The Dr!
