I have a 2012 Tacoma, 60K miles. It's time to change the plugs. Local dealer wants $299.95 to change them. I ask why so expensive and he said they had to remove the intake manifold. Bunch of crooks. Thanks for the video I'll do it myself.

@carljenkins5092 9 месяцев назад

I have a 2011 with 75k on it. The dealer wants 680 to change mine. I ordered NGK plugs and I’m doing it myself. I did though have the transmission serviced. He said the machine pushes out all the old fluid. It took 3 gallons of fluid according to the receipt. It’s shifting so much smoother, Can’t even feel it shift.

@Feckoff730 3 года назад

Just did mine this past weekend, bought it used last summer and had 127K on the original factory plugs. Each plug came out extremely hard and glad I didn’t break a plug. Went with denso OEM plugs from Toyota. Used anti seize for the plugs and 10mm bolts on the coil packs, dialectic grease on the coil boots and ceramic insulator.

@KevinVo 3 года назад

Nice work! I usually don't suggest using anti seize on modern day spark plugs as they usually come pre-coated with a corrosion resistant coating and it can also cause incorrect torque readings.

@Feckoff730 3 года назад

@davidgagnon2849 3 года назад

@@KevinVo I replaced them yesterday. One head had Denso plugs, the other had NGK plugs. A friend had told me that's what I might find as supposedly the right and left heads were manufactured in different plants. Everything went as planned following your video until I got to the drivers side front and found that the coil pack's lead was so short that there was almost not enough room to unplug it. Not to mention the bracket in the way. LOL I had carpal tunnel surgery in my dominant hand three weeks ago and my fingers are still numb so that also hindered me from getting that one unplugged and then plugged in again afterwards. But again, thank you for the video and instilling confidence in me that I could do it.

@ServantofChrist81 3 года назад

@@davidgagnon2849 somewhat right on the plugs. Yes it’s normal to find one bank with Ngk and the other denso. That’s called not putting all your eggs in one basket. Keeps both manufactures of parts happy. In case something goes south with one of them they can still get supply of parts from the other. Anyway that’s what I read on the inter webs somewhere. Lol.

@f3rg971 6 месяцев назад

At 5:03 (and beyond) you can see a light gray plug below a larger hose. The plug, and other, smaller hoses, are all clumped together on a small bracket. That bracket is held to the side of the engine with a 10mm bolt underneath it. For the love of God, and your knuckles, remove that bracket, and you'll be able to access the center plug SO MUCH easier. Also, just go ahead and fully remove the black, metal bracket that he just loosens in the video. It's much better to just set it down out of the way, instead of working around it, while flopping it side to side.

@michaelcinaz Год назад

Good informative video. 👍 I have a 2007 Toyota Tacoma 4.0 v6. Did you use the Denso k20hr-u11 or get something better? Did you gap the plugs to 0.043 inch or did they come correctly gapped? Did you add anti-seize? I know you can get the original equipment plugs at O’ Reillys for $4.99, but the more expensive plugs around $10 each you don’t need to gap or add anti-seize. Thanks

@betinis916 7 месяцев назад

I’m also trying to find the correct gap sizing, my NGK came pre-gapped with .44, I’ve heard you’re suppose to have them between .39 - .43 but can’t find the specifics.

@davidrhea3716 2 года назад

Do you take the battery off for safety? I've done changed mine on my Tacoma 4 times now but I've never unhooked the battery.

@KevinVo 2 года назад

Yes, usually when you work on anything related to electric components in the car it's a good idea to disconnect the battery.

@harrymagooslum5770 8 месяцев назад

Actually, I'd leave the battery connected since leaving it disconnected could allow the engine computer to lose some "learned" information. You may lose your radio presets too. It's just not a big worry unless you like to pry on the cables to the starter or some other brilliant move like that. That's my opinion after owning 35+ vehicles that I always did the service and repairs on. Great, clear video. I didn't think it was worth $360+tax to have the dealer do it on my daughter's truck so I'm driving multiple states to visit my daughter and she and I can do it together w/o any special tools. That's what I needed to know. :-)

@KevinVo 2 года назад

I explained how I did it before I unplugged the coil packs. I used 2 flathead screwdrivers. One to release the locking clip and the other to pry the connector free. There is not enough space in the engine bay for me to get a clear shot when I'm actually doing it.
