'07 Spark plug change
Can you guts tell me the tools I will need to change the plugs on my 07 TL and what's the best way to get the 3 plugs that are in back of the engine out. I already looked at the DIY but it wasn't clear enough for me on the spark plug portion.

i tighten mine until sweat starts coming out underneath the nuts 
Its good to torque down everything but its not necessary really. I changed my sparkplugs not to long ago, its probably the easies thing you can do on the car... well aside from changing the air filter . Just tighten the spark plugs snug or tight enough. But the bar i tighten like a maniac , just joking but make sure its tight good.

As you stand facing the engine, the one in the back on the left is a stone cold bitch. The other two are easier, just because of room/reach.
Here's the trick:
1st make sure you've got a plug socket with the rubber grabby thing inside. Attach that to a 6" extension and put it in the plug hole. Then attach a 3" extension to that.
If you have the ratchet and a full extension and the socket, all together, you can't manuever the rig. Putting it together in pieces makes it 10x easier.
When you replace the plugs, put the plug int he socket with the rubber grabby thing and the 6" extension - you should be able to start the plug with that by hand. Also, use a dab of anti-seize on the threads. When hand start the threads, make sure you don't cross-thread them. Tighten to torque (which isn't very much).
