Spark Plug Change From Hell..

[Alfonsio]

Great job DIY is way more satisfiying that paying someone to do it.

Not everyone... I would gladly pay a mechanic to contort themselves under the hood to change those plugs...

When I first got my truck and looked under the hood to familiarize myself with everything, I looked at the position of the plugs and first thing was "How in the hell am I going to get all those out?!" LOL I thought of a mechanic, but I am a firm believer that no one will take more care in doing a repair to your vehicle more than YOU.

I know, I know. Let's just say it's one of those things that I haven't exactly been looking forward to doing...mostly because I don't know how I'm going to reach them. haha

Drive up to a picnic table.

Ceace.... I knew I recognized that name from somewhere: fordfusionclub. I was KoreySE on there (had an 07 Fusion, and later '10 MKZ). 2-2.5 hrs isn't bad for the first plug change. When I had a Hemi Aspen, those owners were saying 3-4 hrs for the first change. When I do my first on the Ram, I just plan to reserve a Sunday.

Start with the back ones that way it gets easier as you go.

Picnic table or from underneath. Now that is thinking outside the box.

What's up Korey!? Nice to see a fellow FFC member on here! I started from the back at the fire wall and moved forward since I knew those would be tough. Once I got the hang of it that was all down hill from there. Now, the Fusion is getting plenty of rest because I can't get enough of the 5.7! Beats the hell out of the Fuze's 2.3. But when my wallet behind to get light, I of course swap back over to my little gas saver.
