Flat rate on these I think is 2.4 hours to do the plugs but I'm not sure. You do NOT have to pull the motor, and the only one that's really not fun is the rear plug on the driver's side, the rest of them are pretty easy. There is a seal around each coil pack that you might want to think about replacing, especially if they are hardened, they aren't that expensive. Don't use Bosch plugs, they have a very small electrode and foul easily, better off to use NGK or Denso platinum. Or you can go with the Iridium plugs since those don't have to be replaced for 100,000 miles, but are more expensive. It is okay to use regular plugs, however they only last 30,000 miles so work-wise you're better off with the platinum, and NGK = OEM.
