How hard is it to change the spark plugs? Where is the steering fluid drain plug?

Changing the spark plugs is easier than it may first appear. Getting the upper intake manifold off is easy and then changing the spark plugs is even easier.

As far as the power steering, as far as I know, there is no drain plug.

Like "He" said, the plugs are relatively easy. Remove the hose from the throttle body. remove all the hoses and sensor from the upper intake. Unscrew the bolt on the support for the upper intake located just under the backside of the throttle body. Then unscrew the bolts connecting the upper to the lower intake. Presto! You can now change the plugs!

In making reference to the manual I have, when doing any service to the power steering, it begins by either "siphon as much fluid as possible from the reservoir" or disconnect line from steering gear (the rack).
