Hi ed,
I hope to change my leads sometime this week this is how I intend to do it.
(1) take off wiper arms and remove the bulkhead.
(2) disconnect ecu and the two cables, remove the two bolts and move the cable tray on the right (as you look at the engine) over.
(3) One at a time pull each plug lead from it's plug then using a length of string tied to the lead pull it through to the dispac .
(4) Use the old lead to get the right length one from the new set then use the string to pull the new lead into place, then reconnect.
I know it seems long winded but at least if you do 1 plug at a time you won't get them mixed up.

Thought about taking plenum off, but no need. Though will need to move cable tray to one side and I found it helped to remove oil filler too. Best to change one lead at time, one bank at a time.
