694doorbird Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I have a 2000 Ranger, with the 2.5L in it. Does anyone know how to reach the 2 rear plugs on the inlet side? It almost looks like the top half of the manifold has to come off. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grcmptrnrd Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I have a 2000 Ranger, with the 2.5L in it. Does anyone know how to reach the 2 rear plugs on the inlet side? It almost looks like the top half of the manifold has to come off. Thanks, I did mine with just the spark plug socket, rachet, and extensions. Didn't even use a swivel nor did I disassemble anything else. Patience is the key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theoldwizard Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Craftsman sells a spark plug socket with a built in swivel. I have always found it useful for getting into tight spot. Worth the $10 in your tool box ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It almost looks like the top half of the manifold has to come off. Thanks, Like the first poster advised, Patience is the key here...... When you have accomplished this task, pat yourself on the back and attack the plugs on a 5.4 Lightning ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
