Searching for the most efficient way to remove the 3 rear spark plugs in a 1999 Ford Taurus 3.0L, DOHC. Cylinders 1,2 and 3 are located behind the Intake Manifold, under the Ignition Coil… Thanks alot.

[b]The upper intake manifold requires removal in order to change out the three rear sparkplugs. That’s why doing a tune-up on this engine is so expensive if you take it in to have it done.
