Manifold problem

I TRY to do my own basic maintenance, but changing the spark plugs on my 1997 Mitsubishi Verada V6 is proving to be a problem. I'm told the exhaust manifold must be removed to replace the rear three spark plugs, but I was hoping there might be a double-jointed tool.

I'M AFRAID there is no special tool that will do the job. You need to take off the top half of the inlet manifold to get at the rear plugs, but leave the throttle body hanging on the hoses so you don't have to bleed the system when you put it back together. The whole job takes an expert about an hour.
