Did 4 lastnite no breakage... whew... slept well.. lol.. woke up this morning to tackle the other 4 on the passenger side... and yet again no breakage!!! lots-o-creaking tho but that's to be expected. All hand tools. Had the Lisle tool incase I needed it but going to return it since didn't use it and put in Champion 7989 one piece. Runs fine.. no problems... and if I do have problems, I won't have the stress of replacing them.

Cured my hesitation I was having. My 2005 Screw has 79K miles on it. Thought it was the fuel filter.. nope.. thought it was the FPDM... nope... was dreading to do the spark plugs but soo happy now!

Happy Holidays everyone!

 

Good job. Those are really clean compared to some.

 

I know right.. I seen some that were plain nasty. I guess it was good I ran Techron like once a quarter. Help keep the system clean.

 

congrats! did you run seafoam or techron products through it before you attempted this? I'm dreading doing them on my 08 (older heads)

No seafoam. I run Techron fuel system cleaner or Techron Complete fuel system cleaner.. something like that.. but I run it like every 3/4 months. lol totally understand... I was seriously dreading it.. best of luck when you do attempt it.

 

Thanks for the info! I'm doing as much research as I can now before I do them next Spring. I still haven't done the plugs in my 05 GT Stang (30k miles)...I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun!

 

Fine accomplishment!

 

Did you use anything to help get them out? Or did you just back them out as-is?

 

didn't use anything but did have PB and WD40 on hand. Just went by feel. If it felt like it wasn't going to give then I would've used it but I didn't have to.

 

Wow. My plugs had 25k on them when I had to change them a 2nd time and they looked far worse than that.

 

I also run techron every 3/4 months. Maybe that helps keeps things clean.

 

Nice job for using hand tools.....I've done hundreds with an impact....

And techron is probably the best....

 

Seafoam is garbage for this application.....

 

disregard just re-read its an 05.

 

congrats!
