What tools and other things I need to complete spark plug replacement? (3 Viewers)

[Charlielj]

I'm thinking about replacing my 2014 LX 570 spark plugs. I have never done spark plug replacement before so this will be my first. So what tools do I need or want to have to make my life easier doing this job. I have seen other YouTube videos showing greasing the coil before putting it back in; however, others do not show this part. What are somethings I should look for and/do? This is the part number of the spark plug (90919-01191). If this is wrong, let me know. It looks like my local shop do carry this spark plug; however, I'm not sure if it's OEM or not. The image on the local shop shows "Denso SK20HR11" I think. The description said: Gap 0.044". Iridium Long Life. Denso is OEM, iridium long life plug.

Denso plugs are fine.
As for how to do it someone here did a write up, and there maybe a youtube video?
It's an easy job .. but there was one plug #8? that you need to loosen the lines/tubes so you can get at the #8 plug.
Tools.. socket set.

They put high temp grease on the coil so next time it doesn't break coming off. I did it on mine.

I followed these two write ups from the forum and it went smooth.

Thread 'Changing the spark plugs'

Feb 28, 2016

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 the air box.

Then remove the wire harness from the air box.

Then remove the three bolts holding the air box on and slip the air box out (finger is pointing to the third one).

Now you have access to all the plugs on the passenger side except the firewall...

Thread 'LC200 SparkPlug Change'

Jun 29, 2016

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 loosen the bolts that secure them to the motor so they can be moved out of the way. Whatever it takes - it looks like a major pain in the butt.

Thank you for all the help. I'll give that thread some reading and see if I have any additional questions.

Are you referring to the dielectric grease? I'm assuming it's. the Permatex 22058 Dielectric Tune-Up Grease. How much do you put on it? Thanks!
