First, keep in mind the Iridium plugs in the Solara V-6 don't need to be adjusted, looked at or even spoken to for at least 100,000 miles. If you're not there yet then just keep driving. If you've reached that point then you need to uncover the little buggers. Remove the plastic sound shield from the top of the engine. The front plugs are (sort of) easy to find, they're hiding under each of the three coils you can see on the front bank in line with the oil cap. Remove the coil by removing the single hold down bolt and remove the connector. The spark plug is right under the coil. The rear plugs are a bit more of a challenge. They too are under the coils (same as the front) but getting to the center plug requires a strong will, extreme patience or another wrench to remove the intake runner. Once removed access to the center plug is simple. It's your choice but the service manual says remove the runner. Here's one more option. The timing belt is scheduled for replacement at 90,000 miles. Since you (or a mechanic) will be removing parts and spending lots of quality time under the hood anyway, change the plugs (and water pump) then and don't worry about any of it for another 90k.

How do you reach the Spark plugs on a 2006 Toyota solara?
First, do you really need to change plugs? The iridium tipped plugs that come standard in the Solara are good for 100,000 miles. You'd be driving 20,000 per year to need changing now. Assuming it's time, the answer differs a bit between 4 and 6 cylinder cars. With the larger engine you have to remove the plastic cover first. For both, you'll find the plugs nestled under the coils (4 or 6) mounted atop the valve cover(s). Remove the coils to uncover the plugs (down in a hole). For the 6 cylinder, the manual says remove the intake plenum to reach the rear plugs. If you're double jointed and have appropriate tools this may not be absolutely necessary but it sure makes getting to the rear plugs a lot easier. The appropriate spark plug numbers are in your owner's manual. Cheers
How do you change the rear struts on a Toyota solara how do you get to the top bolts?
You'd be well advised to pick up a Chilton manual or Toyota factory service manual for a step-by-step description with photos. Without knowing which of the two generations of Solara you're asking about an accurate answer is difficult. For the Gen II Solara (2004 and later) you simply remove the rear seat and (in the sedan) package shelf to remove the three nuts securing the rear strut. Caution, there are other pieces that are attached to the strut and rear axle that should be loosened or removed as well. That's where a proper manual will help prevent expensive breakage. Cheers
