isn't it kinda self explanatory? Remove the spark plug cover, remove the coil packs, remove the plug wires, and remove the plugs... then reinstall in reverse.....

You know the plastic bit on top of your valve cover with Mitsubishi on it? Remove the 4 bolts/screws from that and lift it off. Underneath you will see your coil packs and wires. 2 coil packs, 4 wires. I think there's 3 bolts on each so undo those and lift the packs & boots out. You now have access to your 4 spark plugs.

The black things are the boots for the plugs and they just pull straight up.
