Welcome to the Trekman AMG DIY garrage
remember to let your car cool down. dont work on it hot or even warm. wear nitrile gloves so you dont cut you hands to bad. and if your getting pissed just sit back and relax, take it slow.
tools you will need
well you will need different size extensions. you will need a stubby extension for the last spark plugs (fire wall) you will need some torx bit to remove the coil packs. long nose to remove the old wire. (very hard to pull on )
push up on the air box slowly! remove the coil packs with a torx bit T30 I think. you can remove the airbox or support it like what i did on te picture just make sure not to smash the rubber air intake so it wont rip. after you have done this I would start from the back to front. the rear is the hard part and you would be cursing on this part. lol but the rest of the plugs are easy to get to after. make sure you HAND TIGHT FIRST then use the socket and torque wrench.
install and removing the coil packs : when you remove the coil packs you will be able to have more room to remove and install the new plugs
use a 15mm box wrench to push the new wire on the spark plug it. now you know its on there tight
