I need to replace the #3 ignition coil on my 2002 toyota camry 3.0. I was told you have to remove the manifold inorder to do this since it is in the back and in the center. Is there any easier way to do this?

    You do not have to remove the manifold, definite not. You disconnect the electrical connector and its difficult to get at but remove the 10mm bolt securing the coil to the valve cover. you may need a stubby 10mm or even put a cheap 10mm box wrench in a vise and cut it with a hacksaw but it can be replaced in 15 to 20 minutes.
