The hardest part is getting all of the stuck torx screws off the plastic cover!
Use a drop of penetrating oil around each screw and wait for 10 minutes. Make sure you have a good torx bit. If you use a ratchet, get a 2-4 inch extension for the rear most screw next to the intercooler pipe.
I put some black electric tape on the intercooler pipe so it wouldn't get scratched.

Those plugs are way down in there, I used a plug puller with a rubber insert to lift the plug out of the hole. A 6" extension on the ratchet came in handy. Remember to use antisieze on the new plugs.

If you like your R, get OEM plugs: copper with a single electrode.
