Begin by removing the intercooler pipes that go to the throttle body.
Remove the decorative engine cover.
Remove the electrical connectors to each throttle body and then remove the four alln bolts holding the throttle body. You do not want to disconnect the coolant lines, only set the throttle bodies out of the way.

Remove the bolts holding the intake manifold down. They are all down the center of the intake. Remove these with a magnet to prevent them from falling into the engine. You will also need to remove the bolts holding the crossover tube on the front of the intake.

Lift and hold the intake up. You can place a small clean block of wood in the front to keep it supported. Remove the coil pack connects and bolts, you will also need to remove the two 10 mm nuts holding the coolant hard pipe on each valve cover.

Remove the sparks plugs, I recommend installing the new one immediately after removing one, to prevent the chance for things to fall into the engine. Also at this point, the spark plugs come "pregapped" and do not require adjustment. You can confirm uniform adjustment if you would like.
Torque spec for the spark plug is 14ftlbs.

Reinstall the coil packs and coolant bypass lines, intake manifold, forward bypass line, throttle bodies, intercooler plumbing and decorative engine cover.
