you just take off you spark plug wires by twisting them and pulling them up, then you get spark plug socket; stick it down the hole, put it on the spark plug and turn

Don't forget to use a bit a anti-sieze thread stuff.

I used NGK laser welded platinum plugs when I changed mine... the Denso's I pulled out of mine were oxidized pretty bad. The shop where I bought my plugs also said to change the ignition wires also if that hasn't been done in awhile.... they're pretty cheap anyways. Buy an insulated socket and use a 6in extension. Good Luck.

SOme other things:

Tune-up:

Remove the distributor cap and check the resistance of the terminal inside the cap to the end of the wire. The resistance should not exceed 25 k-Ohms. If it does, you'll need a new cap/wire set. A new distributor rotor is good also.

PCV:
I don't think there's a PCV valve in the 3s-fe
