Question Spark Plug Change 3.0

Any Advice On how to reach the spark plugs more easily on the 3.0? Or is there really no way around it being a pain in the *** and I just need to suck it up?

Trying to replace them, and the spark plug wires.

Couple of extensions you'll need to somewhat be comfortable for replacing the spark plugs on 3.0

Yeah man it's all pretty direct. Just make sure you don't cuss at 'er to much. Yotas aren't like domestics that run by beating on the dash or kicking the door in and calling it names.

Takes your time. Use the right plugs yadda yadda yadda. You know the drill I hope haha

Wasn't too bad took longer than the old import four cylinders I've had more experience with. No more check engine light though! Thank goodness.

Thanks guys

Oh man I wish someone was there to take pictures haha I definitely felt more like a mechanic than I have in years. After I bought my Tacoma new in 08 I haven't had to fix a single problem in 6 years.
