Ok, so last week I had alot of trouble finding someone to change the spark plugs on my 5.4L ford. One of the thing that I had been doing before was research on how to do this on my own and it all pointed out that I needed to find a professional to do this for me. Well since I have a long trip for me in a couple of weeks and I (like alot of people) don't have the luxury of taking time off of work to take it to a mechanic and since this is a only " going to work truck" I decided to do this on my own. Well I crossed my fingers and with alot of research and planning I managed to take them off all of them without breaking them.Of course this all took alot of patience (5-6 hrs to be more precise) but it worked. I changed the spark plugs when they were warm (almost hand touch) and used the regular lubricant (WD40) to do this. First one side being very careful not to hear too much squeaking. After, I placed the coils back on and turned on the truck again until hand warm and repeated the same steps on the other side. (again this requires alot of time and patience!). After everything I started up the truck and checked for any wires that needed to be checked. So this is how I did it. . Also make sure you vacuum or airblow around the plugs because it'll be a mess if a tiny rock or debree gets in the spark plug hole. Hope this helps those DIY'ers.

 

Good for you rgarcia, what is the year and mileage of your rig?

 

Good work!

 

Its an 07 F150 with 115,329 miles and factory spark plugs. It was a pain though but it all work out in the end.

 

If I recall correctly, they started putting anti-seize on the plugs from the factory mid 2006 so there wouldn't be a breakage issue...
