🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you dive in, make sure you're set up for a safe and tidy job:
• Safety First: Those sparks are hot! Eye protection is a no-brainer. Grab some Safety Glasses to keep your peepers safe.
• Keep it Clean: A can of Brake Cleaner is perfect for blasting away any grime around the spark plug holes before you pull the old ones out. Don't want any muck falling into the cylinders!
• Glove Up: Keep your hands clean and protected with a set of Nitrile Gloves. No one likes greasy mitts.
• The Right Gap: Double-check the spark plug gap for your specific engine. Too wide or too narrow, and your engine won't run right.
Fitment Notes
Always make sure the spark plug gap is spot-on for your engine. Check your service manual for the right specs. Some Land Cruiser models need specific plugs due to engine differences. Get the right ones!

Bob's word: Do the job right, and your engine will thank you for it!

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're replacing this spark plug, make sure you've got the right workshop prep, protection, and safety gear ready. Taking a bit of extra time and using the proper safety stands and cleaners makes all the difference for a professional result!

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Always secure your vehicle on heavy-duty safety jack stands before working underneath. Never rely solely on a hydraulic jack.
• Clean Hands: Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your skin from grease, oils, and chemical sprays.
• Preparation: Have microfibre towels and a suitable parts cleaner nearby to keep components clean during installation.
