    Silver 05 PreRunner Access Cab SR5
    Just joined the community about 10 minutes ago. Reside in sunny Arizona. I have a 05 Pre-Runner Access cab SR5 w/4.0L V6. Decided to do some of my own maintenance & suddenly discovered I can't figure out how to get to the spark plugs on the drivers side.:confused: Looks like maybe a lot of stuff has to be moved (?) Have been looking for a manual etc., but can't find one. Anyone out there have any tips/tricks?

    I think I've heard of people using long extensions to get around the crap in the way. Haven't done it myself so I have no idea how much that helps.

    Oh, and most "spark plug" sockets have a rubber ring inside to help hold the plug in place. Using one of those would help you put the new ones in with a long extension if you don't have the 1/4" fuel line hose handy.
