Spark plug replacement on micra 1.4 with cr14de engine

HI all (This is a repost in the appropriate section)
I am from South Africa and i have spent quite some time trying to find how to change the spark plugs on my petrol driven micra 1.4 2008 model(K12) All videos and explanations i have found don't fit with the type of engine i have. the owners manual shows a diagram which looks like my micra's engine and describes it as the CR14DE engine. I have undone all the bolts, bells and whistles and it now appears i have to undo the intake manifold as well. the intake manifold on this car is at the back of the engine against the bulkhead, unlike any other vids i have seen on the topic.

Is it necessary to remove the intake manifold as acces to the bolts will then have to be from underneath the car in an awkward position? Any help will be appreciated

thanks
