um, you remove them, then re-install the new ones. seriously, it's dead easy. do you know where they are? it's a 5-minute job. Just do one at a time if you're worried about the wires getting crossed.

I didn't notice if anyone mentioned it or not, but make sure to get 2 leading and 2 trailing spark plugs. Trailing go in the top, leading in the bottom. As for a FPR, do you mean a stock replacement? Or do you want adjustable?

Do they have to be torqued to a certain #? Or just take out the old, tighten in the new?

7 ft-lbs, I think. The numbers are in the Haynes manual.
