Changing plugs and coils Ford 5.4

[roundhouse]

Gotta change plugs and coils on my 04 expedition
I think this is the one where the plugs break off in the engine

Any tips on how to do this ?
Need to do them tomorrow or Tuesday

I did mine Saturday!! Easy! But I have 10 bays and 40k in tools and 30+ years of experience

If it's still factory plugs, then yeah they are the 2 piece.

Go ahead and buy the isle tool in case you break one off. Otherwise you have to pull the head off to get at the broken plugs.

Soak the plugs with break free for a few hours before you try and go slow with the plugs. Don't try to break them loose, just slow steady pressure.

We decarbon the plugs -first!

Be smart pay apro to do it!! It's a beach to do them without the right tools and knowledge! Always have someone call and Ask to change one plug #8( rear pass side)
After they break it
