2000 Sonata V6
 
The car has 106,000 miles on it with the original set of ignition wires. I
have the mechanical auto manual but never purchased the electrical manual.
What is the easiest way to chance the wires.

The easiest way is generally one at a time so you don't risk getting
them mixed up. If you pull them all loose at once, you may have fun
getting the right wire to the right plug.

How hard is it to get at the wires on the firewall side of the engine, on my
daughters 04 V6 the plenuim has to be removed to change them, when we do a
tune up I am going to have the rear wires changed just in case there's a
problem in the future, and the plenuim won't have to come off again.

The dealer said a set of OEM wires was asbout $140.00

It'd be a cold day (you know where...) when I'd pay $140 for a set of plug
wires. Dealers like to scare people with suggestions that other wires might
not be as good, but the truth is that any good set of wires will be every
bit as good as Hyundai wires. There's no magic in plug wires. Aftermarket
wires will be 1/3 the cost of OEM wires.

Specifically, NGK wires are very good and reasonably priced. Bosch wires
are generally very good. MSW wires are good.

I'll disagree on this point. I've not seen aftermarket plug wires that
compare to factory plug wires (for a fraction of the cost).
