you have to take the plastic off the top of the moter and the spark plugs are under all that stuff i know it sucks but you can have the shop change them for a few hundred
firewall 3 - 6 2 - 5 1 - 4 front ( The spark plug location numbers in the engine cylinder heads )
Yes. It could make it better or worse.
Check the Vehicle Emissions Control Information ( VECI ) decal located in the front of the engine compartment ( it will show what type of spark plugs to use and the spark plug gap )
remove the coil packs then the spark plugs dont just drop the plugs when installing this will damage the electrode
Replacing spark plugs is pretty simple. Disconnect the battery, remove the cover and cables, remove the old spark plugs, put in the new spark plugs, put the cover and wires back on the spark plugs, and reconnect the battery.
Disconnect the battery cables, remove the spark plug cables and covers, and remove the old spark plugs. Next, put in the new spark plugs, attach the covers and spark plug cables and reconnect the battery cables.

On the Ford Explorer Q + A website , I read about a fellow with a 2 door Explorer Sport ,4.0 L , and what he did was jack up the passenger front and remove the passenger front wheel , safely support the vehicle, pull the rubber fender liner down and access his # 2 and # 3 spark plugs that way. It's a good thing that platinum plugs last longer ! (Helpfull)
