I bought the Lisle tool from Amazon for $58, all 8 motorcraft plugs from Orielly's for $68, spent two hours in the cold pulling my battery, the comp box from the firewall and changing out the plugs - never opened the lisle tool kit. All eight plugs came out ok. All original plugs (7 anyway) with 126K miles.
Runs great.
Go for it.

You rarely hear about the plugs that don't break. Take your time, you should be fine. There are a few really good youtube vids that will help when it comes to using the tool if it gets to there. I did mine while i had my intake off and it felt like i had all the room in the world.

STOP!!!!! I have a buddy who is a Mechanic at FORD. I had him change my plugs, he used an impact gun to remove the plugs. I watched him do it in his garage at his house... not 1 single plug broke.. He laughed at me when i asked him if he had the Lisle tool....

Amazon has the Motorcraft SP-515 Spark Plug for $11.25 plus shipping. Why do you think they are soooo high?
Also on Amazon, the Lisle Tool was seriously diss-ed by several reviewers. They said the tool stripped threads and broke causing them to have to replace the heads!!

Ford F-150 class action law suite
There is actually a class action law suite about this against Ford!
It's funny how Ford claims it as a non-recall item but the dealerships are aware of the issue and basically taken advantage of it by charging us a harm and leg to remove them and if they break one, they charge more even though it's their certified mechanics with proper tools and training that basically are breaking them since some of you were able to remove them with no issue. Where are the lawyers, we should be suing Ford and their dealerships for taken advantage of us, they know of the issue but won't do nothing about it. Basically if the dealership break a spark plug then they should be charging Ford for the labor/tool cost and not us. Talk about BS
