Christ Almighty how hard is it to change these plugs? Local shops quoting me $400-$500 and the dealership wanted $300. What tools do I need to buy just to do it myself?

Normal tools are all that’s needed. A swivel adapter helps on the rear plugs. Remove the strut tower brace and unbolt the hard lines on top of the engine for a little extra clearance. It’s a 30 minute job.

Thanks for the quick response. I'll go get a swivel adaptor and try to find a job guide on youtube.

Yeah, easily DIY although a pain. Always good to have swivels and extensions of different lengths. Just use the money you save to add to your tool chest.
