Answer 1

Open the link to see what the wrenches look like.  They come in various sizes.  You'll need one to remove the plug..loosen counter clockwise and tighten clockwise.

You can do it, it not hard.  Probably someplace on your mower it tells you what size and number of plug then you can buy wrench and plug at the same time.

Answer 2

I used to change mine every year. You use a socket made for spark plugs. If the plug is still good in the fall when yo winterize, clean it a bit, put a couple drops of oil in the plug chamber and replace the plug. If the plug is burnt, replace it.
