INSTALL QUESTION: spark plugs

Does anyone know how to change a 01 C320 Sedan spark plugs? I cannot seem to find them. I just finished changing both the air filters, but can't seem to find where the spark plugs are.

Any help?

Take off the airbox. There's a coil pack on each cylinder with two wires coming out. Those are the plug wires. See the thread linked below and get yourself a plug wire pulling tool. The one in the back on the driver's side is hard to get out using the wrench and leverage method (experience speaking).

has anyone replaced the can tensioner"?" cam"?" and if so what kind of job is it. would it be better to have a mech. do it, not the MB dealer. the dealer here charges $95/hour/ and it seems there is a min of 2 hours for anything, fuid change, transmission/motor...which takes me 25min to do each; motor and trans.
