I can't reach the front passenger side spark plug on my '86 E350/460.
I have searched the forums for an answer but am still stuck. Does anyone
know a step-by-step how to reach this plug to get it changed?
Thanks,
Joe

 

are you having a problem reaching it, or a problem with it being stuck in the hole?

 

Sorry Josh, I edited the post to make it clear. I am having trouble reaching it.

 

well, i haven't played with a 460 van, so i can't be of much detailed help... maybe someone else here has had this fight before and will pitch in

 

Take off the front right tire and go in that way.

 

X2, get the wheel off, and you have a direct shot at it.



You know your a van owner when..... doing a tune up includes removing the wheels

 

You know you own an 92+ diesel econoline when changing the batteries means crawling under the passenger side door and pulling heads means pulling the body off the chassis ;D

 

The 92+ diesels battery is under the pass side door? Under the floor boards?



Hmmm i've never seen the engine bay on a 92+ diesel van so I didn't know that


And i'm sure about new vans, the body, or the engine has to come off/out to do heads, but i've done the head gaskets in my 87 Diesel motorhome with the engine in the van, and i'm about to do the ones in my 85 E350 diesel van in the coming weeks to!

 

If you remove the air cleaner you can get at it from the front of the vehicle.

With the air cleaner out of the way, reach down behind the air pumps and you're there.

 

In 99 they moved one battery to the frame......Both of mine are in the front.....The 6.O has both on the frame because of the Intercooler plumbing......
