Easiest way to get to spark plugs!!!!

Okay, I really thought this job would be easier until I looked under the hood of my V6 91 Camry (2VZFE engine), and found out that 3 of the spark plugs are way back underneath the intake manifold. What's the easiest way to get to all of the spark plugs to replace them?

I haven't tried it yet but I heard some people can reach around and get the first 2 from the driver's side and the 3rd one from the passengers side. I'd use a swivel socket and an extension to remove them and make sure when you tighten the new ones do it without the wrench first so you dont cross thread anything. goodluck, i'll tell you how I did it when I do them which will probably be this weekend.

Easiest way is to remove the intake plenum.

Some people can manipulate a tool around the back of it and remove them, but i find it very fiddly. Once you get the knack of removing the intake/associated lines/hoses, then its a sinch.
