88 bronco II-- help
Hello,
I have a 1988 broncoII. My son and I were trying to put in new plugs and wires. However we cannot get to the plugs...
Do we need to remove the AC, power steering and all that stuff just for a simple tune up? Or is there a secret to doing this???
Any help is appreciated
Thanks
Connie

I'm guessing you are not necessarily referring to all six plugs when you say you can't get to them. #4-#6 on the driver's side are pretty easy to get to. #1 isn't too hard to get to either. I'm guessing you are referring specifically to #2 and #3. The easiest way most of us have found for getting to #3 (and I've used it for #2 as well) is to come through the wheel well (turn or remove the wheel if it makes it easier). Coming through the wheel well, the spark plugs are right above the exhaust manifold.

Thank you. We will try that.
We did get the 2 on the drivers side changed t hat are closest to the back of the motor. The one closest to the radiator on the driverside ... ummm yea... LOL
The other 3 on the passenger side, the one closest to the windshield we could not break loose.... if I use liquid wrench in there will it hurt anything?
We were unable to see the other plugs to even attempt.
But I will try from under the wheel wells to see what we can do...
Thank you for the tip it is appreciated

If you get a straight shot at the plugs thru the wheel well, they will come out easily.....The clumsy angle you have been trying from above, gives you little leverage to break them loose.
