I learned this procedure from a buddy that's an ASE Master mechanic for a Ford Dealership.

Easy way. Trade it or get ready for cam phasers problems and a new timing chain. Maybe I was just unlucky because at 119000 miles engine went south. I babies the truck and all maintenance was done by the book
I'm not sure if BABIES a truck is gonna help a truck. A truck wasn't built to be BABIES.
I have the tool to remove broken ones, if you get in a bind hit me up. The best thing I can tell you to do is quarter turn back and forth till they are free. If you can back them out a 1/4 then spray with carb cleaner. Generally speaking if you are hearing the creaking noise, that means they are turning.
Thanks, I really appreciate it. I decided to hold off till Tuesday to start. I put some fuel system cleaner in the tank today and hopefully that'll do something driving back and forth to Atlanta. Hopefully my truck doesn't die till then.
I have the snapon ford socket no entensions needed and never have to remove harness throttle body or any other crap
I do them in my sleep
I also have the drill kit to add adaptor for plugs that blew out and needed be drilled and jb weld new adaptor
But I do agree sea foam works well thru intake and fuel
Drive few days then change them
I like the engine to be hot

I didn't need to remove anything from the engine
Just used sockets and extensions and u joints
Use a vacuum and get all the dirt out of the hole after you pull the coil pack
There will be a lot lot of dirt in the hole
I used an impact. But had one that even an inpact would not remove
I used a ratchet and a 3 foot cheater pipe and it screeched and squeaked all the way out
Figured it was gonna snap off but it didn't
Mine has 210 k on it
And yes it ticks when you first crank it
Gonna drive it in the ground and then buy the nicest 87-91 K-5 blazer I can find

I've changed my plugs out so many times i don't even hesitate climbing up on the engine to do it myself anymore. You can't be scared of the spark plugs when you own a 5.4 3v.
