How to Replace 1MZ-FE (Toyota/Lexus 3.0 V6) Spark Plugs WITHOUT Removing the Intake Manifold!

In this video, I replace the spark plugs on a 2003 Lexus RX300; but this V6 engine, the 1MZ-FE, was offered in this vehicle from 1998-2003, and has been used in MANY different applications from the early 90s to mid 2000s. It came in a VVT-i and non-VVT-i version. You can also find the 1MZ in the:
1993–2003 Lexus ES 300
1994–2004 Toyota Avalon
2000–2003 Toyota Highlander
1997–2003 Toyota Sienna
2003–2006 Toyota Camry
1998–2003 Toyota Solara
