I'd say bring it up to my place but changing plugs on a hot motor isn't all that fun.

FYI, you should be able to do it using a basic socket set with a spark plug socket, some extentions, and a swivel just in case.

The plug wires just pull off. They will feel snug but constant pressure and they pop off. Plugs just screw in and don't need to be really tight. Wouldn't hurt to put some anti seize on the threads of the new plugs to prevent them from getting stuck.

I did a quick google search and you might have to remove the coil pack to get the rear plugs out, but that sounds like only a few bolts.

Just remember to put the right plug wire with the right plugs or you will misfire.

yeah, a few things can be moved to gain better access like the coil packs and such. Pretty simple stuff really. You know my gf apparently....she has a black/purple G6 as well (G6girlnj i think her forum name is on your boards) As stated above, just take your time and label/mark things if need be to not confuse where each one goes. To be honest the rear bank of spark plugs are a bit of a pain to do, but nothing over the top crazy.
