Thank you-good video-now this SUV is running smoothly as silk! Purchased 2004 4Runner with new tires & 350,000 mi from family member for $2,000, knowing it might cost me $. When my daughter said it started vibrating or misfiring under load I thought maybe universal joint & then took it to a shop that proposed $701 total & $24 each for 6 plugs. Hadn’t changed any spark plugs in about 20 years, but if you’re gonna pay someone $500 in labor for a “tuneup,” why would you own all these socket wrenches? Got great iridium plugs for $11.79 each and did it myself only $125 out of pocket, INCLUDING $50 to that shop although they probably should have told me one of the connections was loose in the first place. I didn’t discover it until I’d already changed 4 plugs. Now the thing will probably run 100k or 200k more.

Lol i laughed when you torqued the 1st one. Made it seem your torque wrench has a horn for the indicator 😂😂

Thanks for making the video 👍

[@user-zw6hi2lu6v]

greetings - useful video to show the process, but all due respect, as per the User Manual, the iridium plugs are for the V8 engine (2UZ-FE). Your engine (like mine) is the 1GR-FE, which uses Denso K20HR-U11 plugs. cheers

Well done. Thanks!

Can you use anti seize grease on 10mm coil bolt ?

[@Unsupervised777]

Can you use penetrating oil on the 10mm bolts?
