Answer 2

Are you serious? Alright then... buy all the plugs and its a good idea to change the wires and rotor/cap at the same time, if so equipped. pull one wire off at a time and get the proper spark plug socket and extensions. Remove any dirt around spark plug holes if possible. Loosen them in an anti clockwise direction . after they are snug, tighten the plug 1/4 turn more. then change the wire that goes to the distributor cap. If you decide to unhook all the wires and plugs and go from there you will mess up the firing order of the engine for sure, no two cars are the same, unless it is the same make model and year or engine.. i have done it many a time and i am a seasoned mechanic. Too many beers or just being tired can foul things up ..

I am going to assume that You have the 3.5L Intrigue engine. If not, ignore this.

Remove the plastic coil cover from the middle of each valve cover. Remove the coils. Unscrew and remove the spark plugs. Installation is the reverse....

I was drunk when I wrote that. If you have wires, you have three coils and not six and you've actually got wires. To remove one end of a wire, first twist, then pull. If it won't twist, use spray silicone lubricant.

You may have a large plastic beauty cover over the top of your engine. If it's in the way, remove the four nuts and the cover.

Under the hood of the 1995 Toyota Avalon, along each side of the engine block are the spark plugs. Make sure the engine is cool before starting. Remove the wires covering the spark plugs, which lead from the distributor cap. Use a socket wrench to remove the spark plugs. Take out the new spark plugs from each of the six boxes, use the gap tool to set the gap at .034 and screw the new plugs in. Use the socket wrench to tighten the spark plugs and put the wires back in place.

Answer 5

I assume you are talking about the ignition cylinder( what you put the key in).

1. Remove the lower, plastic panel from the steering column

2. Locate a small hole that is in line with the key cylinder on the bottom of the aluminum shell that surrounds the column

3. Using the biggest drill bit that will fit, drill into the hole to ream out the locking dowel pin that keeps the cylinder from sliding out.

4. Remove the drill and pull out the cylinder

5. Install new cylinder and spin until it locks

This process should take about 30 minutes

Answer 6

Its tough huh? Try a swivel and longer extension?? I hate to think you might have to pull the motor mount and jack up that side of the motor. Have a friend with looonnnggg arms??

Answer 7

Look for black square things that look like they would be covering the sparkplugs. Those are coil packs, just remove them and the plugs are under them.

Answer 8

pull the plug wires. turn the spark plug counter-clockwise, replace with new plug. replace wire
