Default Spark Plug Replacement

http://www.mediafire.com/view/?c3qc2053vqckcwl

I posted this because I noticed some people have trouble getting to the #8 Spark Plug. If you have the right tools its just as easy as the other 7 plugs. This is on the 4.7L

I don't know what I was thinking when I did this. I don't think I've needed to gap anything at .045. Anyway, its fixed on the file. Thanks. I double checked the plugs and only ONE was at .045

MasterTech, I don't see what you are talking about. The motor oil is far to the right and the trans oil is just to the left and neither one have a but close by. The line over the coil pack I believe is a vacuum line. Is this what you were talking about?

Once the nut is off the coil pack, grab the transmission tube and pull it toward the passenger side fender. Then lift and rotate the coil and pull it out.

Oh I see, its the nut and the plug itself that can be somewhat difficult. Not so much pulling out the coil pack. That's what I was getting at.
