well I will tell you what that was what I can call an adventure. Not too hard for anyone to do, but is a pain the a** especially cylinder 4 and 8. I kept having to recheck cylinder 4 and finally I thought it was in there, drove, and it popped out. Lucky I turned off the car immediately and promptly fixed it.
Oh and the clamps. Watch out for those clingy little things. I few marks left on my hands made the day just so much more fun.
Just a thought, do the factory wires stretch a little bit, as the brand new Motorcraft ones I had didn't exactly match them all well.
Not too bad, saved a few hundred, and finished in under 2 hours. Yay.
Thanks for all the help

I suppose that's not in the directions, but it is the best way. You can also coat the bottom of the boots a little when just changing wires, but that's not as ideal as coating the plugs. You don't the want dielectric grease on your wire/plug contact points. That's why it's easier just hitting the ceramics with it,- before a plug install.
