That pretty much sums it up. The rears are pretty difficult due to space constraints. Also, make sure you snap in the spark plug connectors correctly when reconnecting everything. They need a hard wiggle and push. I rechecked mine like 6 times and was still finding some that were loose. Good luck!

I must be an idiot because I still can't see where you take the nut out the coil, would you happen to have any pictures? My car is a 2001 and has 45K miles, should I even change them yet since its so old or should i wait till 100K. either way i still need to know how to do it.
