I changed my own spark plugs one time. I got really lucky; it was a Ford Triton V8 and they literally had a 14 page TSB on how to change the plugs. The original plugs had a design flaw and would break off inside the engine if you weren't careful, and the previous owner had never changed the plugs so my car still had the defective plugs. I didn't know this when I started, otherwise I'd have taken it to a mechanic.

(Not mine, thankfully)

I had to pour carb cleaner into the hole for the spark plug, let it soak for half an hour, then gently remove the plugs which were STUCK. I used a torque wrench to make sure I didn't use too much force.

Those were some NASTY plugs.
