Fuel Rail and Spark Plug Change
Hey guys im going to change the plugs on my 2000 Expedition 5.4L soon, I know that the hardest plug to do is the #4 if the fuel rail is in the way can I unbolt it or is there something more to the fuel rail than just unbolting it? Also does anyone know if these are the right pluge to use...Motorcraft Platinum AGSF22WM SP-479?
Also is it ture that it should take about 6hrs to do?
Thanks ~Gage~

If you just unbolt the fuel rail for a little wiggle room, you'll be fine. If however, you lift the fuel rail off any of the injectors, or any of the injectors come out of the intake, then definitely replace the o-ring. If you do end up changing any o-rings, put a thin film of Vaseline on them and they'll pop right into place without any rips or tears.
A set of 8 o-rings is like $2, so it's a good idea to buy them and have them handy...just in case.

You don't need to remove the fuel rails. Check out my post from last winter:

97 expedition with 5.4
None of this works. The 3rd coil from the front on the drivers side is underneath a diaphragm on the fuel rail. You can't move the rail enough to get a socket in there. The 3rd and 4th coils from the front on the passenger side are worse. There are two heater lines coming from the firewall that block access. I tried getting the lines off but my fingers are raw from trying to press the clips on the end of the lines. Ultimately, I'm trying to change the intake manifold gasket but I've run into these roadblocks. DO I even need to remove to COPs to remove the intake manifold?
