Remove the soundproofing panel covering the cylinder head using a socket wrench, then unscrew the screws next to the coil. Remove the coil one by one. Use the socket wrench to unscrew the spark plugs, pull them out of the cylinder head, and check for any damage.

Take the new spark plugs and guide them into the cylinder head using the socket wrench extension, tighten them properly, and secure each coil above the cylinder head. Refit the engine soundproofing panel.
