Also clean the coil face.
The work is quite basic, I don't think that anyone has bothered to describe.
You have a #30 torx driver in the back to remove the plate over the plugs. If the new cap does not have the plug wires numbered, you need to sketch how they go. If you mix them up, it will not run.
Factory rotor is glued on, you may need to break it to remove. Vicegrips perhaps. No need for glue when fitting replacements.
Get some dielectric grease or silicone grease and put a thin film on the inside of the cable boots that fit onto the plugs. This will prevent them from bonding to the plugs with the heat.
You need to know that the spark plug gap sould be, might be on a decal under the hood, or in owners' manual. You need to set the gap on the plugs yourself, or at least double check. The plugs do not go in very tight. 20 ft-lbs You may need to get a spark gap guage.
You should blow out or vacuum out the spark plug well before removing the plugs so that accumulated sand and dirt is not able to enter the cylinders.
