You will soo each cop on top bolted down with what i beleive is an 8mm bolt if i rememberemember correct, disconnect battery, unplug each cop, unbolt and gently pull out, your plug will be down in the hole. I would recommend a couple squirts of wd 40 down there and let it sit for 30/mins or so. I beleive the plugs are a 5/8. Put those new plugs in and reverse order of removal. I would also check the cop condition and replace necessary peices. Use wd 40 for easier reinstall. preety basic stuff, nothing to be worried about! Have fun!

You will also need a couple extensions and swivel joints as well to reach cylinders 3 and 4 and 7 and 8. Not too bad of a job. Cylinders 4 and 8 are a bitch but it can be done.
