No I'm just saying that if you have no knowledge on how or why your car works other than giving it gas its better to have a qualified mechanic do the job. I wouldnt want anyone getting hurt or even worse... the car getting hurt.

Rear ones are very easy just get a very long extension for the rachet. You have the clearance, just take out the coil packs just like the front. And get NGK Platinum plugs or NGK coppers part number 6953 (if not ask for plugs for a 97 Nissan Altima) they both work on our cars.
PLEASE under no circumstances use any plugs other than NGK. The Bosch 4 prong ones are not good for our cars.

That's fine, because he doesn't know squat about cars, and you know squat about proper grammar. You go well together.

Look at rotary motors they have 2 rotors and 2 plugs per rotor for a total of 4.

all depends on the mechanic. some mechanics will charge more for labor if they're not making money off of the parts. do a lil research and read up on changing the plugs and you shouldnt have a problem doing it.
