I’ve gotten sick and tired of paying mechanics to do a half-ass job. I watch numerous videos and try to determine who knows what they are talking about.

After going over numerous blogs and youtubes I was almost going to not attempt changing the spark plugs in a 2005 Toyota Highlander V6. You have to take a bunch of crap off the engine to reach the rear ones.

Once I got into it, the only real tricky part was one bolt that you had to do by feel. It was time-consuming though. The timing belt will need to be replaced in another 40,000 miles - that one DOES seem way too difficult to do. Today’s price is $2,200 or so to replace it. (The car is only worth about $8,000).

Like so many things, if I knew then what I know now I would have passed on it. (Huh - a rubber timing belt!? Not a chain!!!???)

I am going to tackle the Honda van’s motor mounts.
