Hello,

Changing the spark plugs can be done using basic hand tools.
You will first have to remove the air filter tubing and housing. Then the coils on the plugs need to be removed. After that you will have access to the spark plugs. Which can the taken out appropriate size spark plug socket with an extension.
Careful when taking out the plugs as some of these engines have a tendency to have seized spark plugs and you do not want to strip off the plug(s).

Here is a helpful video:
