Hi, 5.8L engine - trying to replace spark plugs. I have replaced all of them except numbers 1 and 2. I understand that these vans require either pulling the alternator or removing a wheel well (?) in order to access all the plugs.
With the advent of difficult angle boot pullers and devices like the
Tite-Reach, are there any better ways to do this ie, without the surgery? I did all the sparkplugs so far from inside the cab and using a universal joint on the ratchet.
The hardest part for me is pulling the boots! I think I could use my 3/8 Tite reach if I could get to those boots. I bought a 90 degree puller but they make the actual tongs on the thing so long that it defeats the purpose.
Thanks!
