Question Changing spark plugs on 2014 es350- what do I need?

I'm at 60k miles- will be changing the plugs soon, (whether the manual calls for it or not). I got the plugs- I can't seem to find a good tutorial anywhere about changing them on this model. Do I need to do anything special, replace anything else while I'm in there messin around?
Any tools you suggest?
How long should it take me?
Thanks in advance.

AFAIK, TOYOTA Avalon shares the same engine.

I expect there are no tutorials because hardly anybody has needed to do that. Why are you changing the spark plugs at 60k? Lexus doesnt recommend it till 100k and I expect they will last even longer than that. What about the coils, they fail more frequently than the plugs.

Correct. Same exact engine. YouTube should have info as well... A waste of time and money IMO...

This is weird. I sent my ES300h for a routine service/oil change at the dealer and they wanted to do a spark plug change at 5 years. For free, seriously. I declined but they gave me a set of 4 Lexus Iridium plugs anyway. I'm hoping to change them myself later on, hopefully it's an easy job.

Why would you turn down a dealer changing the spark plugs for free (and very hard for me to believe any dealer would do that.. Never heard of that happening at any dealer facility, ever).
