To remove the two plugs in the middle you have to remove your throttle body. You'll have to remove the intake plumbing from the air cleaner back and then remove the cables for the cruise control, throttle, and cable that goes to auto transmission if you have one. I needed a six point socket to get the bolts off mine, the twelve point socket was starting to round off the nuts. Be patient and don't forget to use anti-seize compound on the new plugs. While you have it apart now would be a good time to get some carb cleaner and clean the throttle body, plenum and and intake tract. Mine was covered with a dark brown gummy crud. Seafoam works well.
