Purchase a chilton or hayes manual for your car ( you can find them at most auto parts stores ). It will show you the steps that you need to take. It's not very hard, but plan on taking the better part of the day to do this.

It's also a good time to consider replacing the spark plugs if it is close to time to replace. It is much easier to replace the rear plugs when you have it all apart.
