    What do you mean by "universal tool"? Have you tried with a spark plug socket?





    If not, spark plugs typically need to be changed by a special tool, a long thin socket
    with rubber inlay at the top of the socket to protect the plug and hold it in the socket. Usually they have a handle
    that looks like a 'T', they are available at any auto parts store.

Spark plug location

From wikianswers.com:

They are right along the top of the engine going in behind the valve cover. They are deep down inside under the wire w/boot 2 of them have ignition coils on top of them (they are bolted down with 2 small bolts each) and have plugs plugged into them (1 each on outside edge) the other two are just beneith the rubber boots connected to the spark plug wire. Hope this helped you out. MWG
