Significant Technical Input
If you do a search you'll find many answers. Typically just removing the air filter box and the battery will give you plenty of space. A 12mm box-end wrench to remove the bolts retaining the coils, a 3/8" ratchet, a 3" x 3/8" extension and a spark plug socket is all you need beyond that.

You dont HAVE to jack up the car or remove the wheel or anything to get the rear two plugs. I'd assume it makes it easier though.

Unless you have Nick's luck (sorry Nick) I wouldn't expect it to take anyone much more than an hour with the tools I listed. I'd rather do them than change a flat tire.
