I am planning on changing the plugs in my truck in the distant future and have been wondering... how the heck to you get the two plugs farthest back? I mean - I know HOW, but does anyone have any tips to make the job easier?

Thanks in advance.

PS - Craftsman tool club days end tomorrow... go stock up! I got a Microtork torque wrench for $54 (regular price $70)

 

Check out this link to a thread that covers all of your questions:

I have two "Lessons Learned" posts there towards the end that covers getting those last couple of plugs out. Bottom line is you need to remove the fuel rails. Once you do that it is a pretty simple process if you have a couple of 4" extensions, a 6" extension, and a swivel or two.
Read that thread and feel free to msg me if you have specific questions.

 

Flareside,

Read the other thread - Thanks alot! That did answer all my questions. The only reason I want to do this myself is because I don't have much faith is the Ford dealership here... they'd probably leave two old plugs in...

no problem,
just wanted to re-interate a couple of things:
1.use anti-sieze on the plug threads.
2.use the silicone dielectric compound that should come w/ the plugs for the boots of the coils.
3. tape them socket extensions w/ duct tape
4. wash the area around the coils well at a car wash and run the engine til dry. (Gets damn dirty on those shelfs the coils rest on and you WILL get dirt in those deep plug holes if you don't.
Look forward to seeing your posts.
