Spark Plugs, HELP!!!!!!!!

I have a 99 Mercury Mountainner, 4.0 SOHC V/6. Changing out the spark plugs. Cannot reach passenger side/back plug!!! No room to even put my hand in position to reach it much less pull the wire. Any special tools or tricks???


Thanks!

No! It's up against the AC coming out of the firewall.

Thanks,

The easiest way to change the passenger side plugs on the SOHC is through the front wheel well. Remove the tire and the rubber liner to give you much more room. To make it even easier, install a 3" body lift. With my body lift, my plugs are right in front of me once I remove the wheel and liner.
