: Question Fighting an 07 Camry v6 intake removal

Hello,

I've searched high and low for some pictures and info on this site and others but came up short.

I'm trying to remove the intake manifold/upper intake/air plenum off of my daughters 2007 Camry. The goal is to replace the spark plugs. After removing the air cleaner assembly, intake bolts, and a lot of other small brackets, etc I can't seem to get to the totally hidden and impossible to see last bolt/brace/or bracket in the rear. I've got the intake loose and can lift it a couple inches off the studs but there's clearly still something attached at the rear.

Does anyone have an exploded view or picture to give me a clue? I've tried to get to it from above and below and just can't seem to see it to even tell where to start. I wanted to give this forum a try before I break down and get a manual tomorrow :-)

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried taking off the Assembly Cowl? Remove the wiper arms, the black plastic cover, the wiper motor, then the black steel tray (Assembly Cowl) and that should give you some additional access to the back of the engine.
