    Hey Guys. What tools do you recommend to make changing spark plugs as easy as possible? Found only a couple videos on the 4.6 and pretty much all of them look like it’d go a lot easier if they just had the right tool for the job. I want to change both the coil packs and the plugs. I know it’s a tight squeeze to work in. Imagine it’s a similar situation with the 5.7. Appreciate any tips and tricks as well.

    I didn't use anything special for the 5.7. Just spark plug socket and extensions. I used two 3" extensions and a 6". One or two spots, you couldn't get the 6" in, so I dropped in the 3" and added another. Locking extensions would be amazing, but I didn't have that. I didn't off the intake or anything. Some people do that to make it easier. It's not a hard job.

    Make sure you have a good spark plug socket that will hold the plug
