i'm plug paranoid!
I know it makes a ticking sound. But how faint is it? Or is it pretty audible? Heard a ticking on my drivers side but its pretty faint. THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!

Piece of cake!
if you're a contortionist, don't mind bloody knuckles and have a couple dozen socket extensions, swivel joints, and lots of time (and beer!).

What you need:
Standard spark plug socket
6" extension
3" extension
3/8" ratchet
for coil packs
7mm swivel socket
8" extension
1/4" ratchet
Patience is the key. And you can get to every spark plug without a swivel socket, so don't use one.

5/8" plug socket.
Btw, I just noticed that on the box the Denso IT24s come in there is the instruction: Tapered-seat plugs--finger-tight(a drawing) and then printed--1/16th of a turn more(after finger-tight).
Ray: You don't have to remove anything but the PCV lines. The intake shouldn't be in the way nor will the fuel rails.

[ ARE THEY HARD TO GE T TO?
As reported in a previous post, I just check mine and found two plugs loose. As for being hard to get to, let's just say Ford put the spark plugs in the engine compartment and built the damn engine around them.
