Only replacing because I know it’s gotta be close to needing them.

hopefully the come out nice and easy. Nothing can be worse than the spark plugs in a ford 4.6L 2006-2009 (I think, I can't honestly remember what year that ford was I had) model. Those plugs just shattered and never came out. The worst job I ever attempted and then found out they had recalls on them AFTER I tried replacing lol.

Take your time, get a good ratchet set with extensions and elbows, you got this.

You might want to watch a video on the ordeal before you jump into it. The ones back by the firewall can be a biatch to get at. Lots of u-joint extensions of various lengths come in handy.


To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.

I know, I’ve already watched videos. I’m pretty sure I can handle it and not have to pay $300-400 for someone else to do it. Just need a half day without rain when I don’t have to work!

Already at $180 in plugs alone!
Also doin air filter, cabin air filter, oil change ac pump at the same time. Should cost me around $1100 total doin it myself, and I’m not gonna spend at least another grand on labor and have the wife tell me I gotta cancel a hunt this year!

Old company truck 4.2 v6 was a pain to do the rear ones. At least those fords only have one per cylinder!

Yep, I had 340,000 miles on my 2004 5.4. (the big issue years were 2004-2006). By the time I got to my 3rd plug change, I figured out how to get them out without breaking them.

I will say that the broken plug removal tool was pretty ingenious.

I've changed plugs on a hemi before along with all the coil packs. It wasn't bad at all -- get after it!

It's easy once you get all the clutter out of the way.

Like I said prior, I’m doing it ahead of time. They were quality plugs 50k miles ago when the factory ones were changed. I’m just wanting to replace before it’s an issue.
