Not really that hard.
1. Remove the intake piping from the throttle body
2. Theres 8 bolts on top of the intake manifold. Remove all but the front right bolt and the rearmost left bolt. This will allow you to lift the manifold to remove coilpacks and spark plugs. You dont need to remove it completely, just lift it up. Leaving those 2 bolts in prevents the 2 piece manifold from seperating and possibly damaging the gasket.
3. Remove coilpacks then plugs.
Note. The rearmost right side bolt is a bastard. It sits low like the front left bolt but is harder to get to being under the plenum. Youll need various length 3/8th extensions to get at it and on the VE it helps the lever up the plenum and jam a block or something in there to allow you to angle the extension into the area that the bolt is in.
