Ah so you definitely dont live in the rust belt lol. Doing this job in iowa rn and removing the exhaust is not an option. Them exhaust bolts will turn to dust if i even look at em wrong
I'm curious why you say no anti sieze on plug threads? I've always thought it only made good sense for steel to aluminum. Spark plugs are often in there for 10-15 years and 150,000 miles. I'm careful to get it only on the threads, none on either of the insulators.
Yes on the 2011 i think you have to remove the plenum or the wipers. If you remove the plenum there's a bolt that holds a bracket on right and left side in the back thats probably the hardest part
Thank you George for some good tips. Great video. I just bought a 2011 lexus es 350 with 125000 on it. Servicing trans with aisin WS and filter replacement and also i'm doing new denso plugs and 3 new coils on the back side; because i dont want to have to go back there again any time soon hopefully. Do you think the plenum can stay on for the 2011 job. i think i have to remove the wipers too. any additional helpful info is appreciated.
What year model is your Sorento? Mine is a 2018 and I can't find anything that looks like yours. They probably change the design so you have to bring back to them for expensive service costs!!
I've got a 2018 Kia Sorento with a 3.3 V6, and it looks like you have to pull the freaking intake off to get to the oil sensor! They should be pimp slapped for designing something like this. It's just another money making scheme!!
@@chutemuchafibra thanks but on mine it’s one solid piece welded end to end to the exhaust manifold, if you get lucky and can remove it because you have a slightly different year then great but that wasn’t the case for my 2008 mercury Milan v6

Just changed mines yesterday and it was no joke yours must not be a 4 Matic I had to remove my ac compressor 3 bolts and my alternator 4 bolts in order to remove them but one of mines was broken and leaking 😮on drivers side
Hi - getting the same issues on my 2019 Sorrento. Were you able to fix yours? is the location similar to the one in this video (2017 Sorrento)? Appreciate any comments!
Thank you. So you removed them both from the top (and not the bottom) and did not have to loosen the subframe bolts? Also when you rocked the engine to remove the drivers side mount was the other mount installed or out of the vehicle and is there any risk to rocking the engine where something may not line up? Sorry if it is a dumb question - rather ask then have an issue. Any difference with a 2014 sport version. Thanks again.
You can loosen subframe to gain a little room on the drivers side, or just do it like he said. Both mounts gotta be unbolted to move engine over. Ain't no dumb questions here, only way to know is to ask. Good luck. I ain't paying dealer $1500 either.
Thank you! Saved me on the spring and little brass "socket adapter thing" orientation at 2:58. I have a 2011 Hyundai Elantra Touring and this is the unit I have.
@@georgewoods3355 Ok rough shifting sounds about right I just fixed the steering issue found out I have bent rim got tires replaced and steering is smooth it’s just the rough shifting that’s been bothering me for awhile
Yep! A lot of time and had good help. Man I like dodge but this is stupid engineering. The help I had was my son in law and he's a mechanic. On the book this job was supposed to take an hour to do.
