Really good video - "make sure to take your time" is the best advice here. I actually had my spark plugs replaced at 75,000 miles on my GX and a year or so later I started getting misfires on cylinder 8. Really weird - moved the coil-pack to Cyl 1 and the misfire moved with it. Got a new coil-pack and a set of new plugs - all 7 plugs looked really good but the one on cylinder 8 was actually never replaced - it had the original markings for equipment that came with the car brand new (this yellow marking on the side). So even pros can miss something - take it slow and take your time.
You ever see badly corroded 10mm coilpack bolts that crumble? Looking for tips and tricks. May try smaller sockets and penetrating fluid before cutting them off. I have new stainless fasteners waiting
AliExpress Link - Note that there are many options to choose from. I purchased the S18 model with JBL and CanBus support. It works great including the steering wheel buttons. I do not have ML amp/speakers, I have the normal JBL stock stereo system - originally non-nav. www.aliexpress.com/item/3256803831942916.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.583f1802PpbLYh
The key ingredient is fingertip pain. Jokes aside, you really just have to press that clip release in as best and as hard as you can and give some wiggles back and forth (not so much as to break it).

Removing the air filter box is very helpful when changing out plugs and coils on the passenger side
Thanks for the video! Torque wrenches should be stored at the zero mark by the way (or 10 or whatever depending on the particular wrench).
Great video! 👍🏽

Hi ninja! Thanks for this video! I noticed you upgrade your nav system to a bigger touch screen... What model or brand is that!?! Happy Vibes!!!

@@GX470PracticalMaintenance thanks again 🙏🙏🙏
I have found it is difficult to remove the electric clip from the ignition coil. What is the trick?

what was your total cost for all 8 packs/plugs ? Thank you - well done video
What brand coil did you use?
