Default 98 Toyota 4runner help! 56k beware

I have 2 questions:

1) How do I remove those plugs so I can change the spark plugs? Do I have to pinch and pull them off, or am I looking at the wrong place for the spark plugs?

2) How do I drain the brake fluid? I can see a small nut near the bottom of the container and wasnt sure if that was the drain plug or not, and if brake fluid containers even had drain plugs. And if I drain and put new fluid will I have to leak each individual brake line??

Just drain it and then take it to the garage. It's just one less thing they can charge you for when doing a brake job. Plugs are overrated. Just leave em. Just pull off the rubber wire covers and blow the insides out like a old NES game.

At least tell me if you have to leak the brake lines if you change the brake fluid, if you do then Im going to take it to a garage.

Most of talk as if you came out of your mommas womb with a wrench in one hand and grease on the other.

OK, do you know how to bleed brakes? Just do that until theres new fluid coming out instead of the old shitty ----. There you go.

Yes the plugs ARE unger the spark plug wires at the valve cover. If I were you though I might look up some basic auto mechanics online, or get a Haynes manual for that truck of yours.
