I've got a spark plug question that is probably stupid but i'm needing to change them on my 2005 4.6 V8 and I just need to know exactly how to do it because i've never done it before. Also I have heard that they are easy to break off then you have all kinds of trouble. Is this true with the 4.6 as well or just the 5.4? Lastly will I need a special tool to do it? thanks

 

ok heres what all i used, few 3/8" extensions, 1/4" extensions, spark plug socket swivel for those tricky corners, and i think its a 8 mm socket to get the bolts in the coil packs out. as far as breakin them off just jerk them and you should be ok just ease them out and youll be fine and dont tighten them to much or you could crack that ceramic then you gotta get a new plug and since its your first time and you dont really know all the tricks there are...be ready to set aside about 2 to 2.5 hours

 

awesome... thanks!

 

haha glad to help, and just fyi the needle nose are for when i put the new plug in and the spark plug socket got stuck on there, pulled it right out
