[QUOTE="Tom Schindler, post: 991958, member: 56140"] I am changing the plugs on our 2006 Mercury Mountaineer Premier V8 AWD today. I got the old ones out yesterday and waiting on the new ones to be delivered. I decided on getting the Champion plugs due to their one piece design Hopefully it is not a mistake. The old plugs had 95,000 miles on them. (I assume, since I got the vehicle used) The old plugs were cruddy, but they came right out. What I did was I cracked a plug loose. I then sprayed PB blaster into the plug hole around the plug. I let it soak for about 5 minutes. I then tightened and then loosened the plug multiple times. As soon as it started getting tight to remove, I tightened the plug back up and then started removing it. All 8 came out within 20 minutes. What torque should I use to tighten the plugs? I do not have a manual handy since I moved a few months ago and haven't finished unpacking. Tom [/QUOTE]
