Not that hard. Hardest part is getting the plugs out, but you use the boots for that. Use them to put new ones in, too. Definitely use NGK plugs. Lol.

Don't change the plugs, sell the car. Much easier...

Hello. The procedure of changing these spark plugs is really easy for the front, but quite hard to change in the back. I suggest the people to watch carsandtoys youtube channel videos on maxima repairs. Best of luck to you in changing the rear spark plugs.

It is very easy if you have basic tools and mechanical knowledge.

other than cyl 5 i think (rear bank driver side) its prety much the same for both banks!
there is just a one thing you gotta move outa the way. (Cyl 5)..and that too is pretty self explanatory and easy also!

very easy both front and rear plugs, about a 30 minute to 45 minute job. Just unscrew and remove each coil, I usually do 3 at a time, then the other 3. When installing I always use a rubber hose on the tip to prevent crossthreading.

Huh?

Same process for the rear as for the fronts. Two 8mm bolts hold a coil down, then a spark plug socket gets them out. You do have to remove two 12mm bolts to move some emissions stuff to get to one cylinder. No biggie...

Easy as can be.
