Spark plug replacement resources (1 Viewer)

[Charlielj]

I'm looking for resources on how to change/replace my 2014 LX 570 spark plugs. I have found some YouTube videos on the actual unscrew/removal of the spark plugs and install them. However, I'm looking for the part that's before the actual removing and installing of the plugs itself. I need to know/see what other "stuff" I need to remove before I get to the spark plugs on the engine. Any help is appreciated.

Here are two threads I used.

LC200 SparkPlug Change

Has anybody replaced the sparkplugs and coils in an LC200? I need to do mine and see the cooling lines are in the way for cylinder 8 (rear most cylinder on passenger side). I looked at the service manual online and can't tell if you need to remove the cooling bypass lines entirely or just...

Changing the spark plugs

Decided to do my first "How To" posting since this wasn't as straight forward as I would have hoped. This procedure, due to the much tighter clearances under the hood, is a little trickier than the Tundra. Here is how I did it, starting with the passenger's side. First, loosen the clamp on...

I replaced my plugs within the last couple weeks. I have a 2008 LC and the passenger side required unplugging the wire harness from the firewall to move the harness to the side. I also had to remove two bolts which hold heater hoses to allow better access to the rear plug hole. I did not have to remove anything thing else. It was relatively straightforward and less work than my 2018 4Runner.

You'll need a couple of different socket extensions for the driver's side. You'll put a shorter extension on the plug socket and get it started in the hole and then add an extension to that. This just helps you get past some of the fuse panels etc... A single long extension gets in the way.

Many thanks for the response and the linked threads. I will check them out.

Just to confirm, is the Part Number: 9091901191 seems to be the correct spark plugs for my '14 LX 570?

Okay, so I found this carid dot-com site that sells tools for specific job. Which of these tools I need and which ones are nice to have to make the job go smoother? I will need a tool to unclips these plugs so any recommendation is appreciated.

Where are you in WI, I have a mechanic in Cottage Grove who has been working on my ‘13 Lx for years, super good and reasonable.

My fingers worked just fine to remove those plugs.
