I have felt your pain on the plugs. I work on alot of these engines & fighting spark plugs out is pretty common. I'm glad everything cooperated in the end. 👍👍

Great video. Straight forward and common sense. Thanks for the effort.

Great video! I was able to do my spark plugs on my explorer following your video.

Thanks very much for the video sir. The knowledge about the bracket connecting the back of the intake plenum to that beforehand was extremely helpful!!!! I used a health supply of P.B. Blaster into the plug holes and worked them back and forth gently till they all came out. Mine had 157,000 on the original plugs and still came out fairly easily. They were shot, checked the gap and they were .012 to .017 over tolerance so they were due. Lol

Add the same thing just happened to me took it to Pep Boys told me they’ll charge me $850 and it all needs a tuneup tuneup So I’m going to attempt to do this on my own and save myself a lot of money Your video really gave me some confidence to do this

Hey brotha, I had a misfire on my #5 took the coil out and that part was wrinkled up too. I straighten it out and gave the coil a clean. Cleared the code, swapped the coil to #4 ran it, ran great. Switched it back to #5 and ran great also. So far it’s good.

My dad taught us to use a flexible hose(usually an air hose of some sort) that the plug will fit snug in to start threading the plugs back in. This keeps from cross threading,works every time

My advice when trying to take out spark plugs, run the engine for five minutes to just warm it up slightly and make them easier to get out.

I love the, “always torque your spark plugs” “click” 😂😂😂 thank you for the laugh!!! Great video

Good Video! Thanks for taking the time to do it. What is the socket size for the spark plugs? Not sure if I need to get one or have one. Thanks

Exact same issue in mine. Thanks for the video!

great video! getting ready to take a trip to paris island SC in the same exploder! lol thought it might be a good time to change some plugs.

Bro made this look easy. First year I got my Ford I took it in to the mechanics to get this done haha

When torquing the intake manifold are you sure it was torqued at 89inch pounds? I broke a bolt off in the head before I even reached 80inch pounds.

Have you ever done a coolant flush on it? Can’t seem to find KZfaq videos specifically to the Explorer for this:/

Changed my spark plugs and ended up with a starting system fault when trying to turn the ignition. I need help?

What size socket? And how long so I don’t hav2 use the extension

Disconnect the battery first. Arcing of unplugged components could cause other issues. I think🤣 Great video!

Don't forget the continuum transfunctioner. Changed mine and now it flies!

Iridium spark plug S2RE14PLP Hello Past that for Explorer 2013 ?? Thanks

Great video, thanks. 👍

They come with 100K plugs. Gen need changed around 110k. Those are the original equipment plugs I think it's really safe to assume that those were the ones that came in it

i hate when engineers say "Screw it, ill put a lot of stuff and make them spend $700 to change 4 spark plugs" lol

You got lucky, definitely thought that plug was going to break

Hello my friend, do you need a truck mechanic technician to work with you.?

Motorcraft plugs would be OEM I’d assume

I have a misfire in cylinder 3. Which spot is that?

Does EVERY plug change video on the Fords NOT include putting BACK IN, the 8mm Behind the throttle body? Why is that? Forgot? Or too hard to do? Literally, EVERY vid on this..

Hope you change the PTU fluid .... it will cost you if you don't!

Nothing is easy to repair on these Ford Explorers. I'll never buy another one.
