5th & 6th Generation (2002-2006 & 2007-2011)Toyota Camry Discussion for years: 2002-2006 & 2007-2011
Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
1. Torquing the plugs
2. Reinstalling the coils
3. Reinstalling the cover for the valve cover
IMO - if you can get it apart, you can get it back together... Usually they tell you to reassemble in reverse order of disassembly, which doesn't repeat the steps, but some folks need their hand held the whole way.
yea thats what i ment. just a suggestion since some people will need more detailed instructions if its like their first time. You title is kind of misleading since you just take the plugs out .. catch my drift?

Especially if they tend to be the kind of people that have all kinds of extra parts after reassembling something
You got a write-up for the V6 doing the rear plugs?

You are one of the most prolific posters on this forum and I was hoping you had a writeup how to get to the rear plugs on a V6...got something along those lines? Short of physically removing the upper plastic resin intake I can even get my hands to the rear cylinder head to even feel for the three (3) "coil on plugs"!

In amateur radio, we call it Elmering--having an experienced person hold your hand and show you how to do things, imparting knowledge all the way. Nobody seems to know how to turn a screwdriver these days, so I would suggest to anyone needing step by step directions on how to replace a spark plug, that they get themselves an old junk lawn mower and proceed to disassemble the engine, laying the parts out on the work bench, and then clean the mess up and reassemble the thing, remount it on the frame and go mow the lawn. Sometimes you just have to learn by doing, and maybe practicing on something worthless that can be chunked would be a first step.

"People who think they know it all are particularly irritating to those of us who do."
1) you need to use anti-seize compound on the new plug threads before installing them.
2) if you use a spark plug socket with the rubber insert, I have found that putting a small piece of masking tape on the end of the extension before you connect it to the socket helps keep the extension and socket together when you try to remove it.
If the fit between the socket and the extension is loose you will end up with the socket staying on top of the plug and only removing the extension after you tighten the plug.
The farther the plug is in the cylinder head the more fun it is to try and get the socket out
