Hello,

I posted this about a year ago and forgot to put it back when I changed my site. A few people have PM'd me for it again, so here it be. Front to back plugs and valve cover how-to pictoral. Since the Camry shares so much with the Avalon, I thought this might be useful to some.

Brakes pictoral is next.

what did you do with coolant tube?? Did you just unplug it and let the coolant out or did you drain the radiator first? Do I need to drain any coolant beffore doing back valve cover?

Muminiasty -

I did this 2 months ago, removed radiator hose at radiator, let fluid pour into container.
Removed radiator hose at the top between valve covers.
No coolant needs to be drained for the rear valve cover.
