FIRST thing to do is find drawings/diagrams (AIM, etc) of the engine/wiring assembly so that you know how it is supposed to be done.
After that, it's just dig in and be patient. Access can be gained from below and/or by removing the front wheels (where necessary).

The rear plugs from underneath is the easiest access .
Plug wires are a pita but the ones that run under the engine mount you can pull the plug boot off and tape the new wire to it . Then pull it thru.
