help!!! antifreeze in spark plug well
 

so i decided to save some money and replace the dreaded 5.4 spark plugs in my '06 F250...all was going well- took my time and slowly worked each plug. Got them all out. was in the process of putting everything back together when disaster struck. I removed the coolant overflow reservoir to make it easier to get to the plugs on the driver side. i also disconnected a coolant line on the passenger side to gain access to those plugs. i decided to put the driver sad all back together, and then move on to the passenger side. when i reinstalled the overflow coolant reservoir, it must have started pushing coolant through and began spilling out the hose i disconnected on the passenger side. I moved as quick as possible, but the passenger side spark plug wells filled up with coolant. the new plugs are in, but i hadn't put back the ignition coils on that side yet.

anyone have any recommendations on how to get the fluid out? i tried compressed air, and got most of it out, but there's still the tiny puddles at the bottom around the base of the plug.

Help?! anybody!?

The air trick would have been my move, keep doing it. Or tape a straw to the end of your shop vac tube and stick it down there.

Brake cleaner and compressed air. That's how we do it when the intake gasket leaks and pour coolant into the #5 well. Enjoy.
