Forget about dremeling, who needs them to be in that stupid holder. Really, you don't have to do that unless you really want to. Just yank old wire off, sorta hard just twist and yank hard. You should go ahead and change spark plugs too.(I suggest using autolite double plats). Take one wire off, put new wire on. Do one at a time so definetly won't cross wires. Put some dielectric grease in the wires(should be in box with wires). It's very easy to do. Pulling old wires off and getting old plugs out is the hard thing.

No, the plugs are on top, just a little difficult to reach. You have to remove the coil pack and the front plastic cover to get at em. You'll need a fairly long extention to get to the plugs. The Haynes manual I have does a fairly good job at explaining the procedure...I would pick up one of those before I did anything if I were you. Good luck!
