spark plugs in an 04 sport trac

[Matthew Mitchell 2]

Hey guys, I was just wondering if to change the sparkplugs on my 04 sport trac if it is the same as the pdf in the projects section of this website when you search spark plugs. I'm pretty sure it will be the same basically but just wondering before I tackle this tomorrow morning. I also have access to a hoist and a shop if that helps anyones answer. Thanks guys!

It's the same. I got to the right rear plug through the right front wheel well. It wasn't too bad, but I had two swivel socket joint thingies. I actually had more trouble loosening the left front plug than the right rear one. I ended up breaking my dipstick handle trying to get the left front one out.

Alright thank you. I'll keep that in mind to try and not break the dipstick. I appreciate it!

For the right rear plug, I removed the wheel and used a 1/2" drive spark plug socket with a 3/8" drive socket on the hex end instead of the 1/2" ratchet. This gave me a bit of extension (maybe 1/2") and allowed enough room to work. I don't now recall whether I also used a wobble extension, but I think I had enough room without it.
