Changing the spark plugs... - Ford Forums

Ok - I gotta admit, I was considering changing out the spark plugs until I popped the hood and couldn't even find em'!

While I'm no mechanic, I allways did the basics - and allways tuned up my own cars.

What kind of tools do I need to remove that coil assembly - or whatever it is, off the plugs so I can change them and the wires?

I feel like an idiot for asking, but I need some quidance..

Thanks,

The coils come off pretty easily. Just the wire attachment (which is the hardest), then a small bolt holds them onto the head. Plugs come out pretty easily to, but you'll probably need a universal swivel to get to the back ones.

Good Luck,
Jim
