Hi I’m new here and have already searched for this topic and found some older information but not what im after,
Ive done minor changes oil , air filters etc, and wanted to do my plugs
Now I went out and brought the plugs a few weeks ago to do this myself but as we have a baby due in a few days thought id save some hassle (as it looked like I would have to remove a fair bit of stuff on the passenger side to gain access) and have the mechanic sort it.
I have a 2003 120 series petrol 4L automatic Prado and today it had it major 80'000kms service,
The Bridgestone mechanic advised he could not change the plugs due to a special tool needed that costs a few hundred dollars for the number 6 plug to come out with ease and advise to get Toyota to do it.
Can anyone here advise if this is true or if I have a few spare hours next week can I sort the plugs out myself, without this tool? Does anyone have any images/ videos of this change ( there was a post I found but the images were removed)
Thanks for any help.
