i was told all this and i found it dead easy to change mine
on the drivers side lose the airbox and associated piping, and on the nearside, lose the battery and wash bottle.

then undo the coilpacks and pull them off, then stick an extension on the spark plug socket, and a universal joint, and push onto the sparkplug, then undo with the ratchet. if you are lucky after a couple of turns you can wind it out by hand.

Just take car as you are at an angle with the universal joint.

i did mine for the first time about 2 weeks ago and it took just under an hour, and i was being ultra careful.

i bought NGK BKR6EIX iriduim plugs from halfords at £8 each

I run a 93 WRX
