Default 156 V6 spark plugs

I'm just wondering how easy it is to remove the spark plugs on a 156 V6? I
gather you have to remove part of the engine to gain access but it's not
obvious which part from looking at it. Has anyone done this? It has been a
simple job on my other cars, but the Alfa is in a different league!

You need to remove the plenum chamber to get to the rear bank of cylinders.

Nothing bad meant, but if you can't find them, how are your mechanical
skills??
I would even let you try to find mine.............

Maybe it's easier on the small engined 156 like yours? It think the question is
perfectly valid for the V6. You should have a look at one sometime and you will
see what I mean.

Ppelectron is right.

On the V6 engine the spark plugs are under the cilynder head coverage; the
2nd isn't so difficult to remove, but if you want to remove the 1st, you
have to remove the air intake box, that's on the top of it.
