How do you get at the back 3 sparkplugs on the transverse mounted 3.3 L engine? The front 3 are easy, but I have no idea how to get to the back 3 since there is no room above the engine to get to them.

There are a number of ways and if you ask five mechanics, you may get five answers that are the best way.

However, I have done it from underneath but if you don't have a car lift then this is pretty difficult.

The other way is to literally lay on the engine and do it by feel.

The last way that I have had success is to remove the wipers and cowl panel and then that will give more room.

I am attaching the info below from the manual. This gives a little more detail on how to do the rear bank.

Please let us know what you find with this and if you have other questions.

Thanks
