Great video. I spent a few hours getting tools together and replacing one plug. But after watching video. I think I will leave it to a professional mechanic. 99 F150 4.2L V6.
Great video
Thanks, great video. Maybe autozone loans sockets that will help reach the ones in the back too.
How did u remove?#4 plug out passenger side I’ve tried multiple extensions and that sucker won’t get out
How long’s that take ya?
Thanks for the video
What ever happened to the good ole days… that does look like a pain.
Great video!
Appears that those plugs were put in originally without anti-seize. I use Motorcraft NICKEL anti-seize exclusively on steel to aluminum interfaces now. If I could afford the stuff for nuclear reactors, I'd use that. <smile>
To keep them from breaking turn them about a quarter spray carb cleaner down the hole wait a couple hours and take them out
Man I have a question. I have a 2000 f150 with the 5.4. And on the number 6 cylinder I pulled the coil pack off and shot air down inside the spark plug well. It shot out oil when I did it. What could that be. The plug was tight too. I'm scared the head could have a crack. Please get back ASAP. thank you
#4 is on the passenger side rear, not on the driver side.
Nice video, thanks. Do you put anti-sieze on the plugs?
This will change your life forever today. For Christians on YouTube: 1woksape spiritual warfare
I've got the 4.2…
I have a 1999 F150 and I don't have to remove all the stuff that he removed. I think he made this look more difficult than it actually is.
Thanks for the upload. I'm still suck on cylinder 7 and 8. I will attempt to take the pipe off to get to the cylinder 7. I just hope that frees up room to get to cylinder 8 also. I seen plenty of videos with people removing the fuel rail, but I really didn't want to remove it unless I have to. I have always changed my plugs but my 2001 expedition with only 125k miles has given me the worse problem. My 2002 camaro wasn't no where as bad as this ford.
Ford owners: flatten the tires to reach over the fenders for the plugs billiy bob!
Chevy owners: hey grab a step stool to reach over the fenders for the plugs!
What about that black rubber ring on the old plug? Do you put on the new one?
great video dear Hugo Ztiglitz!
Thanks for the video. It is always nice when a list of tools is included. Good job!
Make a separate video, I wanna see how you get them out.
Good video. I am a ford man. But I hate the set up on this motor. It's a bad design. You make it look easy.
In my 2000 f150….the 7 cylinder the spark plug s ocket dont fit…any help please
had a 1999, F250 super duty, with 5.4 and when changed the plug's, the annoying part, was each coil, had 2 small screw's. holding each, currently own a 2003 F150, with 4.6 ,and was much easier with one larger screw,holding the coil, but I did change all 8 coil's, on the F150. and the fuel rail is annoying, but the 5/8" magnetic spark plug set from gear wrench, allowed me to do all on both sides, one of the foreward plug's on driver side, had to use shorter swivel from set, and add a 2" 3/8" extension, but all doable,, hear nightmare stories, on F series. but so far all good !! like your dropping air. had to use a small step ladder.
I got new Coil packs I ordered from Amazon by mistake I'll sell the kit of 8 for $40 + shipping if anyone's interested.
The mechanic at the Ford dealership told me my spark plug was rusted in and if it broke off in there, he would have to replace the thing that holds the spark plug. He said it would cost around $1,500 if that happened. I told him to leave it. Now that I see this video, I realize he was lying.
