testing plugs for looseness??

hey brains out there...

i was just curious to see if there's a simple way to periodically check the spark plugs for looseness without having to remove all the fuel rail assembly...etc. if a person has to go that far might as well change them right...lol...

its a '02 f150 s'crew, 2wd 4.6l, 70,000 miles. and i'm in love with it...

Unfortunately, no, checking them with a socket and ratchet is the only way to insure that they are tight.

Pop the wheels off and lower her down on your floor jack. Then replace your plugs.

If you are going to check them at 70K, might as well replace them.
