06 Camry V6 spark plug change, your opinion on difficulty wanted

[HotRod53]

I have changed plugs on my Tacoma twice now, no big deal. I have 52K on my 06 XLE V6 now and geting ready to take a trip soon. I read change them, don't change them, remove throttle body, don't need to remove it, drain coolant, at this point I have no idea.

What is your opinion on how long it should take and what needs to be pulled off and what stays. I assume these are coil on wire like my Tacoma was and I'll just go to my dealer and buy a new set of Densos for it. Also, I'll probably change the PCV valve while I'm in there.

Intake manifold and gasket? Or very small hands and special tools? platinum plugs? Someone here must be able to give you a trick to it. For sure compressed air and clean that area well. No garbage in cylinders.

Good luck

Spark plugs on the V6 are a pain in the ass. Especially for those of us with large man hands

Most def had to remove the intake manifold. Once that's removed they're easy to get to, but you gotta try and have a flexible socket extension. Helps alot
