I thoght you had to remove the intake manifold. Thats why the back three are platinum and get done every 100,000

You have to take off the intake plenum (not manifold). A few wires/plugs/hoeses etc and should all be good. Probly a good idea to change you valve cover gaskets, spark plug seals, intake plenum gaskets etc etc.

Gaps?? Do you mean spark gap? They should be preset when you buy the plug. I'd recommend NGK Iridium.
You don't HAVE to change anything else..but while your there..you can. I would. Things like cam seal, valve cover seals, intake gaskets, spark plug tube seals etc etc. Might aswell while your there...save havn to pull the whole thing off again when it starts to leak.
