To get that last plug out, you’ll need to remove the air intake, I found
that using a flex socket like the one in the video was very helpful. It
will allow you to have the socket offset.
Very true. You never know how good quality control is, or if they got
damaged during shipping. A $3 tool can save a lot of aggravation from
someone else’s negligence.
I’m doing mine on Friday for the first time. This video helped a lot. Haha
I heard it’s nice to soak them the night before. What’s the best thing to
use to soak them? Any tips would be appreciated.
good video, i just did mine and i couldnt believe how dirty the wells were,
i did the exact same thing u did…glad we dont have that dreaded 3pc plug!
How do I get the last plug out on the passenger side? 2005 f150
Thanks for taking the time– It helped me alot.
Awesome video! Thanx!
even pre gapped plugs should always checked. cheap insurance
great video thanks
It is also a very good idea to replace the coils as well. I would recommend
motorcraft on the plus and coils…. they seem to be the only ones that
hold up. If you don’t replace the coils they will normally go out one at a
time setting a code for random misfire or specific cylinder. never trust a
“pre gapped” plug because there is no such thing! as stated below usually
in shipping they are bounced around and are no longer correct. i have had
pre gapped plugs that were ten to thirty thousands off. the three piece
plugs are a pain because the only way to get them out is with the special
tool that threads into the spark plug hold then taps the metal collar
pushing the porcelain through the fouler. good tip before doing them is to
let the engine cool and throw some lube in the hole.
I’m about to take on this job with my 2010 F150 5.4L V8. I bought
Motorcraft plugs specifically meant for the truck. The side of the box
states that these plugs cannot be adjusted. However, my Haynes book says
the gap should be between .040 & .050. When I try to use the wire-tool to
measure the gap, I can’t even fit .040. I can only fit .035. Any ideas on
this? Not looking forward to cylinder four. Buddy told me you have to take
off the fuel rail for that one.
I do a engine degrease every oil change But still found several little
rocks and sand in the well. So thanks for the advice of blowing it out
