Hands this big >.<

Seriously, you need a 12mm spanner to get the coilpacks off (I think). Then you'll need to remove the battery and the airbox so you get to the plugs. The plug size is the smaller size (16mm?)... A couple of extension bars to reach into the head and down to the plug.... Should be a piece of cake, just not alot of room to work.

coincidentally I just did this
you need a dedicated plug spanner with the T handle and swivel end, to make it easiest
a 10mm spanner to remove ignitors (old classics) or 10mm socket will fit 3 of the four
10mm spanner to remove the windscreen washer bottle
10mm spanner to remove the bracket holding the air cleaner to the inner wing
screwdriver to remove jubilee's on air cleaner plasticv to get it out of the way
10mm spanner to remove the vertical connector bracket immediately behind the battery - battery can stay in place
