I want to replace the plugs and wires on my 2005 F150 4.2 V6. This is one with the normal spark plugs and not the one ones that like to break off.
The problem is that I can not figure out any good way to get at the wires to pull them. It seems like I have to disassemble half the engine to get to them. Especically the number 3(right side closest to firewall)
Just wondering any anyone has any suggestions on how best to get at them.
A few options I have considered are to pull the wheel wells, the evap line and the engine hoist point.
However before I go to all that trouble, maybe I am missing a simpler solution.
