2nd gen Tundra spark plug replacement 

0:02 You do not have to remove anything except the bracket on the fire wall. Just did mine today. 3/8 ratchet 2-3 inch extensions, spark plug socket, 10mm socket and triple action needle nose pliers xtra long at 14 inches to remove clips off coil packs. Easy peasy.

Just did this on my 2014 Tundra today and it was not bad, but a bit cumbersome working around all of the wires and hoses. I did not pull off all of the stuff you did. I just took out the air box tube and the manifold cover and worked around the rest of the spaghetti. Thx for the video.

Thanks for the tools link. I liked that you focused on the hard passenger side of the tundra v8.

I did mine a few weeks ago. On my 08 all I did was remove the air box from the intake tube then I removed the mounting bolts for the box. That allowed me to flip the box up onto the intake manifold cover. I didn't remove any of the wire connectors. For the wiring harness I removed one mounting clip above the forward coil and the one near the rear coil. It was a lot easier than I would have expected. Also get yourself a 3 inch wabble extension it will make this job even easier. And those connector pliers are pretty sweet. I might have to pick up a pair of those. I just carefully used a pair of regular pliers. All in all the plug change on a tundra is an easy job.

Not only a great mechanic but a fantastic teacher, Thanks

Great video !!! I did my plugs on m Cayenne and doing my plugs on the Tundra next. Almost the same procedure. Thanks !!! Great workmanship and quality of execution. 👍

Bro. I had a look at ALL the tools you show on Amazon, and I'm here to tell you that although these tools will make your life easier. You do NOT need half of them to do the jobs that your doing. Very cool that you have a tool fetish. I do too, like ALL men lol. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great vids.

That setup is the same as the Sequoia and the toughest plug for me was the plug near the driver side firewall because all the break lines were in the way. The passenger side was the easiest. I didn't have to remove the airbox. I used the 5/8 extension with swivel and it eliminated any issues of the those heater hoses being in the way. When the spark plug broke free, I used my Milwaukee 3/8 ratchet to spin them out to save on cranking with ratchet.

Great video, gives me the courage to try it myself.

really informative video,took all the guess work out of it,thanks

Just bought a 21 SR5 XP series crewmax and got some new plugs at the dealership, haven't done them yet but helpful video to see how it will go. Also, thanks for the tool list link!

Really great video I'm about to do plugs on mine. I'm not sure they have ever been replaced my truck has 213k on it its an 07 and I'm the 3rd owner. I also looks like I have an evaporator coil leak which means I've got to pull the dash completely out. I'm not looking forward to that. If you are replacing breaks I recommend slotted rotors they make a world of difference on the tundra.

You convinced me to do my plugs thanks

Dude! i am so glad you have a Gen 2 Tundra!!! Your vids are killer!

Two locking 3" extensions (3/8" drive) made by Gear Wrench (Amazon) and a normal 5/8" spark plug socket does the trick.

Good job!

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the post.

Remove the rubber grommet out of the spark plug socket when putting the plugs back in so the socket doesn’t get stuck just remember to put it back in when your finished.

@toolsdemos looking out for when you do a brake fluid flush, the spark plugs power steering, brake fluid and fuel filter is all i have left to do in my service interval

The connector pliers look awesome! I just got done watching the plug change without moving the harness. It looked a lot easier. Interesting you put dieletric greas at the rubber opening of the coil. Wouldnt that grease get on the plugs contact point and keep it from firing?? Also, a little bit of anti-seize on the threads of the plug i thik is a good idea. All in all great video! 👍

Great video how often should pvc breather be changed did I say that right

I would jack it up on one side and go thru the wheel well to get to it to see if you can avoid taking off all the stuff on top of the motor was the way on older cars but I see that won't work

Super great video know that PVC valve how often do you change that thang

By far one of my least favorite plugs to do. The only car worst than the Tundra is a Hybrid Highlander. My coworker is short so when he does plugs on a tundra hes pretty much sitting in the engine bay😂

Hows the driver side in comparison, as far as difficulty is concerned? Thanks for the vids. New to me Sequoia (118k mi) and your demos have been a god send!

Should you use aluminum anti seeze on the plug threads?

It would be good if you could link to all the tools you used in the video? Thank you for the video.

First time toyota owner. First time doing the spark plugs on a toyota. What spark plugs you recommend?

Thanks

Has anybody found a better upgrade than OE spark plugs and OE ignition coils? It has to do with millijouls I believe which equals better burn cleaner burn

PVC valve how often do i replace it just asking

Any reason to change the coil packs too? How often should those be changed?

spark plug gap?

You didn’t put anti seize on the spark plugs

What are those electrical connectors pliers? I don’t see any link for them. Thanks

When should I change my spark plugs on my 2018 tundra got 80 k miles on it

I still cant see or understand how to get ANY clips off or the wires that hover over the coil packs on the left side. They ad reverse screwed in from the head, out. Ive never seen this and cannot see how you are taking them off without breaking everything plastic. Also, i dont have the fancy pliers and wondering how to do it for normal people

Does anyone know what plugs come stock? I see in the video he uses ngk. But most Toyota use denso plugs. Anyone know for sure?? Thanks

Do you have to disconnect battery before starting this job? Thanks

What’s the brand of the green spark plug install hose?

I thought it was more easy. But isn't it I have to pay some one for do it.

How many miles do you suggest to replace the plugs? I also have a 2018 Tundra

Harbor freight has them for $4 and some change

Man ive never had to change plugs on a tundra and I can assure you I'm not looking forward to lol

What’s the brand of pliers

way more complex than my ford expedition ecoboost v6....

THIS is very intricate /complex task to do,, come on,, toy----japanese vehicle use to be easier to work with,, obviously not true for this tundra,, which offer no room for your hand/tool to access, . look at those bundles tree branch,,, man,, japanese electric wire system have a good reputation of neat,,, but not the tundra,, it may still look neat,, still bet u will get charged by 2 hours at the shop for 8 spark plugs replacement,, 2 hours just for 8 plugs is a hefty job costly----$300---400 only labor cost ,, excluding the parts... as a result,,, are you ready for 5 hundreds bucks repair???? worth last roughly 100k miles ???

Thank you. I have a of two thousand eight. Needs a tune up. I just wanted to see what all the mechanic had to go through.🫵🏼👍🏼
