Anti-Seize on spark plugs?
I have been a spark plug kick the last week. I ordered some plugs for my boat and then decided to keep going. Jet Skis, Sequoia, 4Runner, Tundra (X2) and a scooter. I also purchased a new extra long spark plug socket which helped the process tremendously. I did the skis last weekend and finished the two Tundras without any problems. Yesterday, I had a problem with one plug on the Sequoia. It was stuck in there tight, like frozen in there. It was almost like tightening in reverse. I have never had that happen before. I went to the Toyota forums to see if I could find any known issues or solutions.

The method I used, and worked, was heating the engine up to operating temp. and after shut down promptly removed the plug without issue.
After I posted my thanks to the group and shared my experience another guy posted NOT to use anti-seize on your NGK plugs and referenced this link.

This is news to me. I have been and do use it on my plugs in any engine. In post #20 the poster gets into detail about different types of anti seize.
