Grab a 10mm wrench/socket.
Remove only one plug wire/coilpack @ a time.
Pull on the boot and not the wire.
I use what I believe to be a 9" extension on my 3/8ths" socket wrench.
Use an import spark plug removal socket.
Replace plugs with an NGK brand plug (I forget the model #, but you can get them @ NAPA).
Check the gap before installation (0.044).
Remember, these plugs use crush washers and to only stop torquing on the plug until it becomes tough to turn (unless you're using a torque wrench, this is something you'll learn over time).
Replace the wire/coilpack.
Enjoy!

what kind of spark plugs are the best?
some plugs with a bit of performance and durability?
There's some talking about gaps. Are most of them pre-measured? or do I have to measure it and use the right one? If this issue is not that important, I'll just go head and change it.

We all say that the "basic" NGK V-power plugs are about your best bet on for a stock lancer...or even one with basic mods.
Yes, gap is important! But most come pre-gapped...but when you buy the plugs get a gap measurement tool too! They're like a $1.

hmm.. I tried to take off the rubber thing that covers the plug.
It won't come out. the 2 plugs with coilpacks come off easily but the other 2 without coilpack... do not come off. Do i just pull it hard grabbing the bottom rubber part?
The car was shaking but still not coming off...
