Could someone please redirect me to instructions on replacing spark plugs? Thanks.

10mm socket on the coil pack, unplug the coil pack. Pull the coil pack off.

Then use a 5/8 spark plug socket on an extension and take the spark plug out.

Repeat for all 6 plugs. I like to put a little dielectric grease on the tip of the coil pack when seating it back on thew new plugs.

Super easy on the LFX

The LLT, you will need to rotate the passenger side two rear coil packs to clear the
intake manifold to remove them from the plug. Have to remove the Purge Solenoid,
and hoses as well for clearance.

I was going to do mine, but a bolt is stripped in the valve cover, and won't come out.
Someone really honked them on good. All but the one will come out...

The only thing i would add as an old car guy would be to hit each plug well with either a little compressed air or suction from a shop vac before plug removal. Keeping anything from dropping in the plug hole is a good idea.

Only if your plug valley seals are leaking... There should be nothing to fall in...
