Default Spark plug replacement

Can someone give me a run down on all the tools and information I need to know about replacing spark plugs on a 2004 V6? Thanks for your help!

a ratchet

a extention

a plug socket wrench (The one that has a rubber boot in it to hold plug in)

that is all you need

and you could change them out in less than 1 hour, its better than taking it sumwere and having to pay alot a money

Do not do it while the engine is hot or even warm make sure it has had enough time to cool

yea it's way more easy to take them out next time you need to change them if you put the anti-sieze on them
