Even less if you use the index sticky near the top.

since I didn't see the coil replacement question answered, I'll take a quick stab at it. (there's probably a better DIY elsewhere though)

- remove fromt strut bar
- if you're staring at your engine bay, the coils are towards the center and off to the right a bit. You shold see 4 spark plug wires connecting to the coils
- For easy access, I recommend removing the intake accordian tube. (rubber guy) This is easily accomplished
- Take a 10mm deep socket (extension will help) and remove the nut holding each coil down.
- remove the spark plug wire
- insert new coil, tighten down
- attach spark plug wire

do these one at a time You do not want to mix up where the wires go.
The coils themselves are not location specific, so as long as you put 4 new coils in, the car doesn't care which one goes where. The important part is where the WIRE goes.

It's a bit of a tight fit but they're not hard to replace. 30 - 60 minutes depending on your mechanical skills.
