Im working on my dads FORD E150 With a 351 V8 1990 model I am changing the plugs and wires and such, but my question is.........How the hell do you get to the last two plugs on the passenger side of the van.. all of them are done and i cannot get any tool i own back there to get them out......any help would be great... thanks

 

on those vans you need to unbolt the rear 2 motor mounts. then jack the motor up in the rear a couple of inches. that should give you enough clearance.

let me know how it goes.

 

thanks ill try that today

 

yikes, what a crappy design lol!

 

Doesnt that van have a "Dog House" in the cab that can be removed for services?

 

that's what i thought?i work on these vans all the time,but i never do anything that would require work in that area,so i can't say for sure.

Did you try taking the rear driver side wheel off? If that didn't work, did you try rolling the window down and opening the rear door?

If none of those work, I'm not going to be much help. Not very familiar with that type of vehicle, but I know that should work on just about any other car.

 

Thanks alot......It was a real bitch getting to those but i finally did after hugging the motor for several hours and cursing obsenities left and right........thanks for the help it was awsome

 

did that really help? is that what you did?

glad to hear ya got her done!
