Having worked on and tore down to the smallest part engines ranging from a weed eater to a small block chevy I have amassed quite an assortment of tools, some even home made. It will take an array of tools as in socket extensions, ratchets, and universals to change the plugs. In your case some components may have to be removed to access some plugs and you will need the tools to do that. You may even need a inspection mirror to see some of the plugs, even have to reach plugs from underneath. A good manual, frame of mind, and patience will be most advantageous. Good luck.
