She liks working on cars, although from looking at her she does not seem the type. She's saved me from having to take stuff apart a number of times.

My friends uncle got all of his right side plugs by taking off the tire, and then the plastic stuff in the wheel well.

Sounds like a bit of overkill

How easy is it to get rid of the heat shields around the plugs?

I can never get it. I scratch up my arms just trying to get the first 3.
The cars getting a new trans so I am having the mechanic do it while the trans is out.

Its REAL EASY to change that plug if you put it on a rack and pull the trans (LOL).

BTW...the dealer wanted $400.00 just in labor to change the plugs....sheeeesh!
