do one plug at a time because if you get wires mixed up it will not start

easy enough to do, if your at halfords or near one, there is a plug removing tool, only about £8 or something, is like a blue T-Shaped handle, with socket at bottom, good tool for the job IMO (just make sure it fits the plugs, I think there 14mm)
like corsa_godfather said though, do one at a time & be carefull you don't cross-thread the new plugs, they should scre into the head very easily, if they stick, don't force it, undo it & try again!
