Some people (probably with small hands) were able to sneak their hands under the intake manifold. I always remove my intake manifold. I just didn't want to break anything. It just takes 30 mins.

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/es3...ml#post5780932 There might be a better how-to, just do a search here, and also on the Toyota forums...and put your year ('93 ES300) in your post...I had to look it up on your profile.

it's possible not to take the manifold off. however, I took mine off anyway because i wanted to replace the valve cover gasket as well.
