08 200 Opti, need to change plugs. Is this a easy DIY project, they dont look real bad to get to but looks like the fuel rail needs to be taken loose. Am I correct?

The fuel rails do not need to be moved. A socket with a 3/8 wobble extension will get them out with a little patience. Start the new plugs with a length of fuel hose over the insulator end so you can feel the threads starting square, screw them at least three complete turns before you use a socket to tighten them.
