Part: Spark plugs

Today we will see the instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the spark plugs of the Ford Explorer 3.5 V6 engine. First, we open the hood and remove the upper plastic cover; then we disconnect the electrical connectors of the coils; we then unscrew the screws at the base to access the spark plugs, using a socket wrench with extension to unscrew and remove them, as shown in the video. At this point, we screw in the new spark plugs by hand, of the right type and with the same thread; we reconnect the coils and verify the correct ignition of the engine!
