how easy to change spark plug on V6???

[townboy2]

i do searched but nothing come up... so just wondering how easy to change them... i know I4 is really easy but i have never touch a V6 b4, so just wondering b4 i buy the spark plug, should i do it myself or pay someone to do the job...

Front bank is a breeze, but you will need some flexible socket joints to get to the back since they are almost up against the firewall. Small hands help too.

[SC V6]

yes small hands, or nicely bruised hands from wedging them back there

at toyota some tech remove the intake manifold to get easier access... i guess it depends on the tech and how their day is going

I replaced them when I put on the SC. It was pretty easy I guess since I had nothing to hide the back part of the engine.

i don't think my hand is small enough to go in... but is not there only 3 wires then where is the other 3 spark plugs go to???

Your kidding right?

[SC V6]

haha nice... because of that statement.. I would just go have someone else do it.. I fit my hands back behind the block but it cut me and rubbed a lot of skin beat red... but its do-able as long as you know where those tricky "last 3 plugs" are

How much should one pay (labor only, not parts) to get the plugs changed on a V6? Are there any non-dealer service centers you recommend? Are there any I should stay away from?

I didnt know it was even possible to change them without taking the manifold off. I changed my wires the other day because my NGK's went bad ( after 8k miles) and i took it off just for the wires which i later realized was dumb. Its a pain but can be done in 2 hours easy.
