You need a 5/8" size spark plug socket. You local parts store will have it. Using a few extentions on the socket and a socket wrench, you simply turn counter clockwise to loosen the spark plug.
When loose, pull it out, and put a new one in the socket, and put that back inside there. I recommend using some thread sealant on the threads. Then put in, and turn clockwise until it stops, now you much ONLY USE SLIGHT FORCE TO TIGHTEN IT... Like, 1/8 to 1/4 turn of the wrench.
Repeat...

yea, the hardest part is finding the right combination of extensions for the wrench. If i remember correctly, the best is a socket wrench that has a slight bend to it (don't know the proper term). Thats what i got to work anyways.
