How the heck to change the Spark Plugs

Nope, thanks for the support. I figured it out. I am not used to the type on connector, and not sure if it simply pulled out, or was secured in some way. I found the bolt holding it in and felt like an idiot.
Thanks for adding to my self confidence :-)

under the hood. you can attack a FEH with 3 sizes. 8 mm. 9mm and the 10mm. anything bigger than 10 MM is a body bolt and the it get huge. I think there are 20 or so bolts. then imagine. the proplen lies in boxes and that tool that reads them

Auto makers can always be counted on to come up with confusing fasteners. I was totally confounded by our HCHII's wiper blades the first time I tried to change them, could not get the blade of the arm. Googling the problem revealed lots of of owners similarly stumped. A typo in the Owners Manual was no help. Finally got lucky
