I believe that's only an issue with the 5.4L 3 valve engines from 2004 till late 2007.

Only 5.4. Go crank away and rip those plugs out!

Default What about this rail?

So I’m on for the plugs this Thursday...
service manual doesn’t say anything about removing anything...
so my question is ...
do I have to remove these rails to get access?(see pic) or is there enough room to slide the coils out and then the plugs?
