Google is a great way to find things

Cheapest I found:

And I think you're just suppose to let them soak for like 3 hours before attempting to remove.

Get yourself a copy of the NEW TSB 08-1-9, Lot's of info there, major points are...."ROOM TEMP" (70ish) engine, Back out plugs 1/8 - 1/4 turn, Use Motocraft Carb Cleaner (Not AeroKroil). Use NICKEL Anti-Seize on lower part of plug (not on the threads)......GET the TSB...more info there. Then take a DEEP BREATH and be patient..this can be done with success !!

Ok I usually use google, or the search. Not new to the forums, just like when others give answers, amazing what you learn when others give answers.

Kroil is made by Kano Labs.

http://www.kanolabs.com/

Some autoparts stores stock it but it is easier to order online. If you have rusted steel parts, it eats rust for breakfast. There are other products that add silicone or graphite and all really help remove frozen parts.

I am not surprised that the TSB sticks with Motorcraft Carb Cleaner but that is not designed to dissolve carbon better than any other carb cleaner that I am aware of.

OAN, I have almost 63K on our 07 KR Crew Cab and am getting nervous about doing this sooner than later. I guess the plug removal tool is on my list of must haves as well as locating a local supplier of the Brisk spark plugs. BTW, with the one piece spark plugs, is it still necessary to add any anti-seize to any part of the plugs?

Kroil is simply amazing. I work in heavy industrial settings and I've had 2.5 inch and bigger nuts and studs seized on heat exchNgers that would just not move even with hydraulic high- torque 's and 7 and 8 foot breaker bars but put some kroil on and off they come. I didn't know it could be bought for personal use! That is sweet!

So how do you know if you have two piece plugs? Is it 2007 and newer?

If your engine build date is after 10/9/2007, its on the sticker on the driver side cam/valve cover of the engine...
