You have the item in front of you .
Find the spark plug wires do the replacement one at a time. Yep clean if you can. You need the correct tools a a 5/8 socket a 12 inch or better extention a btraker bar or/and a ratchet,
Pull the plug wire and try to work around or remove any obstruction for the time being also for sparkplugs that are located in a well use a magnetic grabing tool these rest is a counter clockwise removal and a clockwise install. Be sure not to over torque the installation
use a 6 inch ratchet and went the plug is snug cup your one hand over the crnter of the ratchet and tighten it as tight as you would a pickle jar cap. You shall feel the seating of the sparkplug washer.
If you are a real strong fellow use t fingers technically this is where specifications can come in handy from the library in foot pounds

Use a spark plug boot puller or try to twist and pull the plug wire by the large rubber part over the plug, once that the plug is exposed, just proceed normally to remove the plug. One thing I do before removing plugs is to vacuum any sand or debris the area around the plugs.
