regarding the plug(s) on the driver's side. You don't have to remove the bracket. Just take off the top bolt then loosen the bottom bolt, so the bracket can swivel down out of the way.
Anti seize will change the torque value and risks over tightening the plug in the head. The head is what will suffer, not the plug. There is no such thing as a small job if the mechanic fubars the threads.
@shemsuddinmillard3172 You have a Good valid point. Its a delicate matter. I should have clarified, jut a miniscule amount. I have done this for years and never had any issues, but admittedly, some people will in fact, get carried away with Anti Seize, like everything else.
@davidcate2903 I have done this for years on every brand of Spark plug; I mean a very, very thin amount, which prevents gauling, bonding, ect. Just Like I use Dilectric Silicone, very little on inside of Spark plug Boots. I agree, with you, not Technically Necessary, but just makes Removal Easier and offers a bit of Protection to plug Threads. I've never regretted going to extreems, but thats just Me. I'm the same way about " SAFTEY, as well. Thanks for getting back with me on the Subject.
appreciate putting the tools in the description. That is a step above I would do myself. Haven't changed my sparkplugs since factory on my 2014. im at 90k now. Toyota techs worked on my vehicle until 75k and never said anything
Glad to help and you should be okay. The replacement isn’t too bad. The hardest part is the driver side. But just set aside some time in the day to give yourself plenty of time to get it done right. I would start with the passenger side so you get an idea of how it goes; and remember only removal of the air box is necessary.
GOOD QUESTION.... Some say you have to stick with a Regular Factory plug, " NON IRIDIUM", For my 09 Tacoma, and others say, I can put the upgrade plug in. True, IRIDIUM Are way more expensive, but Last a very, very Long Time.
@@carljenkins5092 no problem , the plugs on the passenger side were a little bit more stuck to the threads but other than that everything was smooth. His truck runs great, now smooth :)

Good tip! Thank you.
Love the video quality! Everything is crystal clear.
Thank you for the feedback! 👍🏼
Most people will never take the time to put a very thin coating of ANTI SEIZE On Spark plug Threads. Its worth the extra time.

@@eugenegress5896 Many plugs nowadays have a coating on the threads to take the place of anti-seize. Denso and NGK plugs are among them.
Never use anti seize on NGK spark plugs.

Going to try it this week…
How’d it go 😂
What brand spark plugs?

I replaced my 07 tacoma 4.0 V6 with Denso iridium (sk20hr11). It's running great. 👍
So when you remove the plugs are you turning it clockwise or counter clockwise? Also, why did you cut away before you remove that first plug?
lefty loosey, righty tighty.
.................... good info. Thanks
2014 TRD Sport 6 speed manual! How many miles on yours? 110K here.
07 with 130k
where are they pre gapped? If not, what should the gap be?
The plugs were pre gapped.
1-1.1mm, and mine were all pre-gapped correctly (OEM Toyota), but I still checked them.
.040
FYI, you have a 14mm spark plug socket linked in the description, not 5/8
Fixed thank you.
@5:07
Never loose your 10 mm! 😁
I have 5 10mm with me at all times 😂
Ima change my dad’s plugs , I think he’s in the 120k miles on original plugs 😂😅 . He should feel the difference
Any problems? Did you use anti seize? I’m doing this on mine next week.
@@carljenkins5092 no problem , the plugs on the passenger side were a little bit more stuck to the threads but other than that everything was smooth.

No anti seize . I’ve never used ain’t seize for any of my plugs.
Thank you for responding. I will tackle this project Monday.
Correct, do not use anti seize on spark plugs.
