Easiest way to do it is do the drivers side from under the hood, and on the passenger side remove the wheel and you should be able to access the plugs if you take the flexible splash shield off.

The only thing that makes it easier than this is to get a bodylift - THEN go through the wheel wells. LOL

Re: 4.0 L v6 2006 ranger spark plugs video?
Thanks guys! Also, it said that I need a special wire removing tool and a gapper, but they are pre gapped so I think that should be fine, but what about the wire tool, and is a torque wrench really necasary or can I do with with my regular one?

Yeah body lift first! Hahah.

When I did my plugs I put a bit of grease on the thread first, and tighten them by hand until you feel resistance then just give them a little nip more.

Re: 4.0 L v6 2006 ranger spark plugs video?
just wanted to thank the forum for the spark plug replacement methods. drivers side from the top and passenger side thru the wheel well worked great. it's like working on a 1969 mustang with a FE motor. we would drill holes in the shock towers to r&r the plugs.

You NEVER want to drill holes in the shock towers of a Mustang for anything, it weakens the shock towers.

We did it to drag race cars and never had an issue.
