Can't get #4 plug on 5.4L 3V
Swapping my plugs this AM, and ran into a roadblock of sorts. I can't get the plug closest to the firewall, passenger side. I removed stuff to get better access. But I can't get the socket to seat down onto the plug. A bit odd, but is there a trick or something I should be trying?
This is the 2008 version with the SP-509 plugs, the shorter one piece plugs, redesigned heads, if that matters.
I am hoping that I found my misfire issue though, the #3 plug anode was bent, basically gapped about twice as far as should be.

Thanks, I did blow out the tubes but will try again. It's odd, I just can't get the socket down onto the plug.
Waiting for it to cool down now. I had to stop half way through the job to go run somewhere. I got 1-3 and #5 replaced before bolting it all back together.
It does seem to have fixed the OD low RPM shudder/ miss. I was skeptical that this was an ignition/spark issue. I was hopefully wrong!

I held a motorcycle mirror and a flashlight back there just to make sure there was a plug in there! I can see the top of the plug. I might try to get a better view. There was a lot of dirt around the head, but I blew everything out. Might try to give #4 another blast. Waiting for it to cool now.
