Anyone had issues when trying to remove the plugs from their 5.4L motor? Had seen some YouTubes about issues with the 5.4L 3V plug removval issues....not sure it applies to the 4V motors.

These are the two best tools I have found to do a 5.4 DOHC plug change......

^^^^^^and the deep socket has a plastic coated magnet inside and is captured and swivels on the end of the long extension. The ratchet works nicely at odd angles in the T.B. and firewall areas also.
No more fighting with sockets and extensions coming apart, Black tape to hold them together, etc., etc.....

I had no clue those sockets existed. I just ordered a set. thanks for posting

Those are what I was talking about in my post. Will make it much easier.
There are all kinds of cool tools you can use, but honestly these are not bad at all to do with a basic ratchet and long extension.
I have had MUCH harder cars to do. I can do plugs in like 10 mins if I really was in a rush. Much easier also if you take the intake tube off.
lol. Have at it man. Lots of specialty tools you can buy. I am too poor for those single use tools though, so I try to use what I have.Don't ruin my fun. I NEEEED to buy cool new tools to do it I swear. Can't do anything without buying a cool new tool for it first.
