Default Changing Spark Plugs on TJ !

Can anyone give me any pointers on how to get access to the front plug nearest the rad on a TJ. It is blocked by a bracket (cant remember for what as I looked at it about a week ago). Is it possible to just undo the 4 bolts at the top and then retighten them when I am done or do I need to release then retention the belt ?
Also anyone know the oil capacity when changing both oil and filter ?

I dont know how you get the engine dead empty from oil as whenever i have done an oil change it has only taken about 5L.

I would of thought to get all the oil from the engine you would let the oil get warm first.. then dump it out.. just leave it for a little while so it can find its way out from the rest of the engine.
5 lts sounds like enough oil by the sounds of it then.never done my own service on my jeep as it was still under warranty.. but now its run out Im going to start doing them myself.
