This topic has been covered MANY times
Heck, there is probably a YouTube video on it.

It's the same as the fronts, make sure you have a longer extension. There may be one or two components in the way, remove/move them.

Dude, it's the same procedure as the fronts, you just need an extension on the ratchet and socket, and you need to remove that brown thing that blocks the spark plug hole furthest to the left. I think that I used Denso plugs though...

Go by the fender of the car by the wheel and bend over, stick your hood under the hood and look in there you can see it's easy. Two screws holding each coil down. The older the car the harder it is with respect to stuck rubber coil boots and other problems.

Stick with NGK's. I use Cu's have for a nearly a decade and a hlaf. Less time interval but it's easy enough.
