Default 2003 GT spark plug replacement

Is there any where online I can find a step by step (with pictures) guide on how to replace them? I'm not too car savvy and would like to learn more by doing the maintenance myself. (plus I was quoted 325 for someone else to do it) Thanks.

I assume you have a GT with the 2.7 liter V6 engine, which can be a challenge when swapping plugs. The best reference I know of is a guide for a Sante Fe at:

Same engine and similar setup to what you have in the Tiburon. Use the correct plug for your application.

What engine is in your Tib? The 2.0L 4-cyl or the 2.7L V6. If it's the 4-cyl, changing the plugs isn't that difficult but if you have the 2.7L V6, you need to remove the upper intake manifold to access the rear 3 plugs. That's not something I'd suggest doing alone if you're "not too car savvy." If you want to learn, I'd suggest finding someone that knows what they are doing to show you step by step and be there to make sure everything is done correctly. It's not something that can really be learned over the Internet.

It's a 2.7. I have someone who's going to help, I am a helicopter mechanic, so pictures + words= job done. All I need is the reference material. Thanks for the link and your input.
