use a locking extension, that way the spark plug socket will come out with the extension.

Got it and i tend to use some old rubber hose to get the plugs hand tight before torqueing lightly

Anything in the way near the coils as i'm familiar w/ swapping plugs on the 4.6l dohc 03 cobra motors so i assume it's somewhat similar.

Thanks

check for leaking water from the heater core hose above #4 cly an becareful with the bolts that hold the cop down they break easy an should be about a 45 min job
