To replace the spark plugs on a Toyota RAV 4, open the bonnet and remove the plastic cover from the top of the engine block. Once removed, disconnect the connectors attached to the ignition coils and unscrew the bolts securing them in their housings.

Underneath, you will find the spark plugs, which should be extracted using a socket wrench. The new spark plugs can then be inserted into their seats, and all other removed components should be reinstalled.
