Spark Plugs

Hey I'm looking at changing the plugs in my F-150. Do you have to remove the fuel rail to get at the plugs on the driver side?!

Please tell me it aint so!

I've never had to on all the 4.6 & 5.4 Ford trucks that I've tuned. Work on a cool engine & take your time. the first time is always the hardest!

Lots of people will tell you to remove the fuel rails but you definately dont have to. The coil packs will clear them.
Like 03XLT4x4 Flareside said it is best with the engine cool. I also like to take a big piece of foam...usually an old seat cushion....and put it over the engine and rad so I have something to lay on. It makes the job way less painful
