    How difficult of a job will it be to change the plugs on my '05 Tacoma Prerunner Access cab. I'll probably be changing out the fuel filter as well. I had a diagnostic done and there were no problems indicated. The last tune-up I had done was at about 40K.... I now have 138+k. Any suggestions. I'm trying to save money on this deal!

    Thank you,

    Changing the plugs is a piece of cake. Move some of the hoses out of the way to pull the individual ignition modules out of the way and pull the plugs. If it has been 100K, hopefully you put on anti-sieze when you put new plugs in before. Some of them may be seized in the heads. Just take your time and don't force them out. If they are siezed, take it to someone w/ experience and see what they can do.

    I think the fuel filter is in the gas tank.

    Not sure of an 05. Fuel filter may be up by the front right tire inline w/ the frame.
