Today we will see the instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the spark plugs of the Toyota Prius engine, with hybrid engine. First, we open the hood of the car and start removing the plastic partition located on the top, then removing the windshield wiper arms; then we also remove the windshield wiper mechanism.

At this point we remove the spark plug coils, using a socket wrench with extension to unscrew and remove them; we replace them with new original ones, screwing them in by hand and tightening them possibly with a torque wrench.
