I searched to see if there were existing threads on spark plug replacement on the 200s. Came up with nothing.
If you haven’t done this job, you should know it is very easy by today’s standards except for two issues.
The first is getting to cylinder #8. This video helps a ton with quickly showing you exactly what needs to happen to remove the heater hoses and bracket from the top of the coil. There’s also a great tip on getting the two PITA bolts back in for the bracket.
The other issue is #7, where you need to gently but forcefully pry the refrigerant piping away from #7 to get the coil out.
Read the description for more help. Again, IME, the job on the LC/LX 5.7L’s is much easier and quicker than a Tundra and Sequoia.
