How do you change spark plugs in a 2002 ford explorer Sport Trac?

Answer 1

Take it to a mechanic! 5 of the 6 can be changed with moderate effort however the one on the passenger side, rear cylinder is near impossible. I busted my knuckles and dropped the socket MANY times - (have a magnet on hand!). It is in your best interest to have a qualified mechanic do it who has experience working on these day in and day out. I know it costs a little bit but believe me the this is not one of those things that you want to try unless you have A LOT of patience and can spare some skin off of the knuckles!

OR !!, I'VE BEEN THROUGH THE SAME THING & YOU ARE RIGHT, BUT I KNOW THE ANSWER (OR IT WORKED FOR ME ANYWAY). What I did is I either crawled under the truck from the front or behind the wheel on the passenger side using the shortest plug socket AND a 3/8'' drive ratchet with the smallest, thinnest head w/ the longest handle that you can find. It WILL still be a tight fit and use your patience GOOD LUCK!
