Hi - I have a '98 with the 5.4L engine.
I'm a fairly competent home mechanic and I didn't think changing spark plugs would be a big challenge, but I'm stuck after finishing 7 of the 8 plugs and could use some advice.
The first 7 plugs just took a bit of time, patience and a 7mm flex socket. I didn't remove the fuel rails. I'm stuck on the passenger side rear-most plug (#7 or #8?).
There are 2 "T" shaped rubber water hoses (rear heater?) in my way and they appear to be crimped at each end so I'm not sure how they get recmoved. Is there a trick to this? Do I have to remove the fuel rails for this plug? Any suggestions (besides take it to a pro) would be appreciated.
