In case no one added this I would like to tell EVERYONE that you should always try to blow out the area of the spark plugs with air if possible before removing them. Debris will accumulate in those areas and may fall into the combustion chamber when you remove the plugs.

Wouldn’t that cause debris to go down into the chamber?

@@derekhenderson10 BEFORE you remove them. Then once they are out crank the engine for a few seconds to blow out any further debris.

Good video. Saved me from having to go through the learning curve of finding the spark plugs and how to get each one out.

you can use a 5/8 inch-12 inch hose to remove the plug after it's loose and to insert it back in the thread

Thanks for posting! Sometimes it's hard to see what you're doing, but the video is still very helpful.

Thank you for your feedback. We'll keep that in mind when we make our next videos.

Thank you, I think you just proved my point that I was trying to make to my roommate...Our Mechanics were saying they had to remove the engine to get to the spark plugs in behind the engine.

Nice Job, really helpful!!!

You single-handledly made America Great Again with this video!! Thank you so much!!!!

Used to have to do them every 12000 miles back in the day.

Great tip!

We do them by Braille these days!

It dont help me on the one that won’t come out. Im afraid it’s gonna break off

I realize this may seem, like a dumb question, but can you use the same spark plugs for every car or do they come in different sizes for different size motors?? Apologies for my ignorance. I'm trying :D

They take different ones. The people at your local auto parts ship can tell you which ones and help with the gap.

Thanks bro.

Put some Vaseline in the socket instead of pulling out the hose they will release the new plugs without breaking the insulators on them

Ford should have built a hood and engine compartment 1 foot LONGER !!!!!!

Is a flex head ratchet needed for the rear plugs?? Or can I just use a normal one?

Nice video, but you can't do this on the duratec. The coils (1-3) are under the manifold

too tight for me and not enough room to get leverage on the 3rd one.

Because Ford didn't care if it's hard to change them. It made their design job easier.

1/4 inch Ratchet with adapter makes it easier
