How do you change spark plugs in 1997 Ford Clubwagon XLT V-8 van?

If it has the 5.4 then remove the dog house and sir filter housing, remove all 8 coils and remove the plugs with a magnet on a stick after loosening them.How do you change spark plugs in 1997 Ford Clubwagon XLT V-8 van?Oh no. You probably have the 283 (4.6 liter) with the plugs down in the manifold. Complete pain in the rear.

Engine cold, soak boots with wd-40. Pull one boot at a time, and you'll probably wind up tearing the wire out. Replace plug with new and a tiny amount of anti-seize compound. Do not torque more than 20 in/lbs. If not sure, just hand tight.

Tape the plug socket to the extender so it doesn't fall into the hole.
