+1 on removing the wheels for the spark plugs. You might want to check Pedro's garage for some guidance on changing the rings on the spark plug tubes. Mine were more flat than round. Check for oil on the spark plugs as an indicator.

It's actually 60K service. I just bought my 2000 boxster and it has 65K on it.
I don't have any history on any maintenance performed so I want to do it myself.

When you say "it was a PITA" was it hard or just scary?

I'm not very car savvy and I'm a little paranoid about breaking something...

Funny thing.. it took me 2 hr to change oil on my lexus SUV because I double and triple check everything. It's funny how I use my 35k$ car as a training rat so I wouldn't break anything on my 8000$ boxster.. am I crazy?

I should've took a picture of me under the car with all the tool around me and a laptop with step by step instruction right by me

Thanks
Sasha
