Spark Plug Change

I have a 1990 Porsche C4 Cab for which I'd like to change the spark plugs. There are only 6 plugs, correct? Can I perform the task from up top or do I have to go underneath the engine. Finally, do I need a special tool for this?

there are 12 plugs, go at it from top and bottom

A magnetic spark plug socket helps although it can be done with the factory suplied tool

better google some videos, etc before you start

Thank you! I found all 12 spark plugs on the car and bought myself a magnetic spark plug socket!

You will need to remove things that are in the way, top and bottom. Top,blower motor, Bottom, cat and mufflers. Regular tools work. Cramped quarters on the top.

do the ones at the back (on side where power steering pump is), #6, last as they are the hardest to do, you will have had ten other plugs to practice with!

You guys were spot on! Removed the items in the way and was able to get to the plugs. Much appreciated!
