Default Replacing Plugs on ES250

Is there any sort of a trick to replacing the back three spark plugs on the 1991 ES250 V6? The appears to be quite buried under a lot of stuff and hard to reach. Thanks for anyhelp that you can provide.

Yes, you can do it without removing the intake and a lot of stuffs.

You have to remove the stud bar and use a swivel spark plug socket. Then you need a 6" 3/8 drive extension, and another 3/8 swivel adapter and another 6" extension. The easiest way is get to the spark plug from the passenger, but you will have to get your hand under the intake to get to the spark plug wires. A pain in the neck, but do-able.
