Default Time to Replace Plugs

Mine is a 03 NBC. I have the parts to do this. SEARCH didn't show me any DIY on this (I did find one helpful article but I need more info) and my Service Manual on CD just decided to quit on me when I need it the most. So here are my questions:
  1. How do you take off the engine cover? I pried on it hoping it'd just pop out but it isn't moving. Do I just have to pry harder? On most cars, these covers are not bolten on
  2. Assuming I get the cover off tonight, whoever has a sparg plug DIY, please post details, and I mean every detail possible. Pics will go a long way too. THanks

On my 01 there is a bolt towards the back of the engine cover on the passenger side.

Smile Does it look like this????

Mine is 2003 Vert, there are 4 rubber gromets that press down onto four pins. Just pull up front edge then the rear. Hope this helps.
