Spark Plug removal instructions

Swindler

What does anti seize do? Only apply it to the spark plugs? Will it be ok not using anti seize? Is it difficult getting the intake manifold back on? I'm tryin to learn how to things myself instead of taking to shop. I am afraid of not getting the intake manifold and gasket lined up properly with no problems... is it difficult to get back into place the right way? Will all the bolts go back in easily and how tight should I bolt the intake manifold back down? Also what is the throttle body exactly? I don't see any pictures and am not sure

It keeps the metal parts from sticking together. Also helps control corrosion.
As a rule-of-thumb, anti-seize is applied to the male part. Apply a very small amount to the threads of the plugs. Avoid applying anti-seize on the first 2-3 threads of the plug to prevent contaminating the plug tip.
While not 100% necessary, using anti-seize is a good idea when using dissimilar metal and/or the parts get very hot. In the case of spark plugs, both conditions exist.

The intake manifold gaskets will stay in place once the gasket is secured by the technician/person doing the job.

When ever putting on a fastener you should always start it by hand for a few turn so you don't cross thread it.
