Hey nice find! Too bad they arent in print size. 
I remember the first time I tried to change my plugs. It took me forever just to figure out how to take everything off. But everything's a chance to learn. It's much easier after you do it once.

Its alot easier if you undo the throttle cable from the TB.
Undo the bolts from the intake manifold that goes over the Valvecovers and the 4 that hold the TB to the motor. Do not unbolt the TB from that manifold. Unplug some vacuum lines. Get the star socket and undo the EGR from the intake manifold. The whole thing moves out of the way (tb and Y intake piece). You can get to your plugs in 15mins.
