Okay guys, here's something quick that I've thrown together for everyone that's doing this for the first time.
You'll need an 8mm (deep) socket, 10mm (deep) socket, wrench, and spark plug socket.
Step No 1:
Remove the cover by removing (4) bolts. 2 bolts are 8mm and the other two bolts are 10mm.

Step No. 2:
These are the (4) coil packs. The spark plugs are located underneath them.

Step No. 3:
These are the two points where the wiring harness attaches to the coil plug bolts. These need to be removed by gently pulling upward and wiggling them.

Step No. 3a:

Step No. 5:
Remove the coil pack harness plug. First, slide the red tab away from the coil pack to unlock it. Second, press down on the little black (I accidentally called it green in the picture lol) tab at the back of the plug and pull the plug away from the coil pack.

Once you've done these steps, you're on the home stretch. Pull the coil packs up straight up out of the spark plug wells, use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plug itself, and then install the new plugs following the above steps in reverse order.
It was getting dark so I didn't have time to completely remove the coils, but once you complete the above Steps Nos. 1-5, you'll have no problem finishing it up. Good luck! And don't forget, install the plugs hand tight and then give it about an 1/8th of a turn with a wrench.
EDIT: I had to edit the links because the site is no longer linking to Imgur.
Copy/paste the link into your browser window to view the pics. I'll try to download and reupload them to a different site at some point in the future,
but I just don't have a lot of time to do so right now.
