Dan,

   Yeah, but I'm old, fat and have a limited assortment of extensions for my 3/8" drive. Along with that goes a limited amount of patience. Bad combination.

Frank, like Mark said the more you do the easier it gets. To start out, I use a double jointed MATCO plug socket and on the right side as I go back the extensions get shorter until the last one is a 1in. extension. On the left side I just use a 10in all the way back. The double jointed socket is the key. Just wait until you have to change plugs in a 3-valve 5.4 and break off the 2 back ones.

Bill:

Several years ago I was at a drag race in Briston, Tennessee.  Now the track there is in a valley between two mountain ridges.  A friend of mine, Ed,  did not pass tech because he didn't have a transmission blanket on his car.  He bought a blanket, and started to install it just as it started raining---hard.  He laid in about an inch of water to install the blanket, then took the car back to tech.  The tech man asked if he installed a blanket, and said, OK, I'll take your work for it.  Ed said, oh no.  I laid in the water to install it, now you get under there and inspect it.  He did!!

I'm still trying to figure out how to get the last two plugs out of the drivers side of my 2003, 5.4 litre, F150. I have yet to find any combination of wrenches and extensions that fit. Got six in, and two new plugs in the glove box. I can hardly wait for the starter thing.
