They just pull off, do one plug at a time so you dont mix them up.
Re plug spanner, glue the rubber sleeve into the socket so it does not end up on the plug, also you can get a 3/8 torque wrench in,, if you cut down the length of the extension bar so the torque wrench will fit the aftermost plug- then weld the socket to the extension bar.

 

I twisted mine back and forth slightly when removing them. They came out easily.

Sane plugs

My plugs had 15000 miles on them from the build, the service interval is over 30000. Total waste of time and money taking mine out as like new. How many miles on yours as might not need doing

 

I just recently changed plugs on a scud. that had the pull out coils. They were pretty clamp down and some where difficult to pull out.
Make sure that when you push them back in that they product a "snap" for assurance that they are installed properly.
I don't know why they changed out the earlier models of using bolts but they are much easier to remove and install.

 

I don't know about the ebay seller that you listed but I know many has bought from the ebay seller below, me included. I hope this helps.

Last year I changed the plugs on my 2009 with 13,500ish miles. The car was running great and the old plugs looked great. I was just concerned that they’d been in the heads for 12 years.

The coils came out easily and the plugs came out easily.

Take one out for a look and if ok just look and put back, at least you will know they will not be seized in the heads after many years of never being looked at. I could see no difference in the originals to new- gaps did not need adjusting either.

 

I think 07 it changed, apparently its same coils as scud which i believe uses ionic knock sensing.
probably to streamline production

 

Just drive it
There is some process you can do. but i really dont think its needed
I felt no difference after new coils, plugs maybe slightly smoother

 

Disconnect battery..let sit for 10 mins or so .. reconnect then follow this

Self-acquisition of the Motronic ECUs works correctly when the intake air temperature is higher than 5°C.
Therefore make sure the external temperature is not outside the value specified.
Leave the engine running for approximately 10 minutes in the following conditions:
car at a standstill with engine idling;
water at operating temperature;
all devices off (lights, wipers, etc.);
air conditioner off.

According to rifledriver, you just start it up and drive it. From what i understand the fuel trims will then adjust themselves i think he said. Makes sense as only doing plugs

 

The re+learn procedure like that on many Ferraris( and many other makes) justs jump starts the process .. the system will adjust fuel trims eventually.. just quicker by doing procedure
