changing spark plugs sucessessful 30 mins
I have finally attempted to change the plugs.
The three front ones were a breeze.
The one closet to the passenger side is also a breeze about 5 minutes( move the pcv tube out of the way first) . the middle one has to first pull the the two rubber tube attached to the silver cylinder . Use a 90 degree long nose plier to pull the boots. and then drop a 6 " extention with a 5/8 socket into the plug hole and then use an additional 6" WOBBLE extention ( this extension can give you a max tilt of 15 degrees ( total time for this plug once you get use to it should take no longer than ten minutes.
The last plug , you have to remove a bolt that hold a metal tube and push the tube back a little and then repeat the technigues for the middle plug and you should be able to do it also in ten minutes
The key is to use the right extentions especcially the wobble extention.
Now I can repeat the work for my friends in less than 30 minutes
This is for a 1993 model.

ok guys, I just changed my spark plugs and wires in 45 minutes. It is VERY easy. The front are like 10 minutes. The rear is the about 30. I just took off the "lexus" cover for the front and the PVC hose to do the back.
I did the pass back and middle from the pass side and the back driver from the driver side. I used a 2" extention and a 6" extenstion with a universal 3/8" socket.
