Just did this a couple of days ago and my goodness, the last 2 that are buried are really a PITA to get to, really need patience and the correct tools.
Thats German engineering for you

Take a look in the DIY section; 2 good threads about it, including the PITA one too.

I was driving to Vegas it was 105 outside, slowly pulling out of a gas station my car shut off or stalled whatever you call it. I had to start it up again. Is that because of failing spark plugs? I notice my car wants to shut off at times during really hot temperatures and especially when I try to accelerate slowly from a stop.
