If you've got an 8V car, the plugs are kind of hidden under the head and go in at an angle, so they can be a little tricky to get started in the threads. If you've got a 16V car, they're right out in the open once you take the cover off the center of the valve cover.
If you happen to have a mid-80's car, you might want to compare your replacement rotor to the old rotor *before* you pull the old one off. There were a couple different size shafts, and it's easy to get the wrong part. Sometimes pulling the rotor off destroys it, so if you do that and have the wrong replacement you're stuck.
For that matter, if you see instructions that say to glue to rotor on, I would disregard that (see above). I've never done that, and I've never had a replacement rotor that wasn't a nice, snug fit on the shaft (just like any other car). Even if the rotor were to get a little loose on the shaft, it can't go anywhere (if anyone else has had a different experience with this, please tell). I've never really understood why they say to glue it on.
