The front four are easy enough, but the rearmost one is a bit of a pig - a bit cramped to get to, so watch your fingers. Stick with it, it's not that difficult and there are no special instructions, just pull off the rubber plug (pull hard), unscrew the old one with a sparkplug socket, then screw the new one in and replace rubber plug.
