Toyota Repair: tune-up, allen wrench, spark plugs


Question
where are the spark plugs located on a 99 solara- V-6, are they difficult to get to?

Answer
The spark plugs in the front are easy to get to just remove the black plastic cover, you need a 5mm allen wrench to remove the bolts, remove the 10mm bolts from the coil packs and pull them out, the spark plugs are down inside the tubes about 6", the rear ones are under the intake chamber and a lot more difficult to remove and it takes just the right combination of extensions and a swivel extension and a swivel socket to get them out, I would leave this job to a dealer or repair shop that has all the tools.
