Very difficult to change the rear. Intake plnum is very hard to get around. The best solution is do the front yourself then take it to Toyota and have them doe the rear. You can not get to them from belowHow do you change the spark plugs in a V6?
Step 1Connect the spark plug socket to the socket extension.



Step 2Open the hood and pull the spark plug wires off the top of the engine. You may need to wiggle them back and forth while pulling up on the plug wires in order to remove them.



Step 3Lower the spark plug socket into the engine and push the socket over the top of the spark plug.



Step 4Turn the spark plug counterclockwise with a socket wrench to loosen and remove it from your Sienna's engine.



Step 5Pull the old spark plug out of the socket and insert a new spark plug into the socket with the electrodes facing out.



Step 6Lower the spark plug into the engine and thread and tighten the spark plug.



Step 7Slide the plug wire down into the plug well and push it over the top of the spark plug until it seals the plug. The wire should fit nice and snug over the spark plug.
