Lance, if they are tight, use a breaker bar (longer handle). This seems to
help when changing out spark plugs on any hemi head design. I do use a
torque breaker bar that I purchased from Pepboys (29.95). The handles is 18
inches long and use a 10-inch socket extension. I then duct tape the spark
plug socket to the extension to ensure that it does not get lost inside the
cover (LOL).

Subject: Re: DML: Spark Plug Changing
Bill,
4.7L is the engine I have. I'm not too mechanically inclined but I think I
can change spark plugs. I remember reading on here that they are tight as
heck the first time but doable if you are careful and take your time.
Any ones I should look at? What all extensions will I need (I don't have my
truck here right now as they are doing the other work)
