On a CRV that age you are basically just removing the cap, unscrewing the old plug, and screwing the new plug back in. If you purchase the spark plug bit reach is not an issue. If there is a challenge to getting it done, it is a mental one.

Do they know to wipe the area around the plugs, and to make sure nothing gets into the holes while they're open? Do they know how much to tighten the plugs when they replace them? Do they know to avoid cross-threading?

This is a pet peeve of mine - DIY advice from people who don't realize how much fundamental knowledge they rely on, that other people may not have. Let's try this: Would you let the OP replace the spark plugs on a 2008 CR-V you own? If not, I don't think you should suggest that they do it on their car, unless you plan to come over and supervise.[/quote]

That’s what the instructional videos are there for. I never suggested attempting it without preparing for it. Most videos cover all of the things you mentioned. That’s all that I had to work off of when I replaced my first set, and I never had any issues. Perhaps I have above-average common sense though...

Oh darn you messed up the quotes. That is a pet peeve of mine - people who don’t know how to maintain quotes when replying.
