More than any other vehicle, Ford Triton 5.4 L engines are known for snapping off spark plugs when you try to change them out.
LISLE TOOL (better than the one in this video) - amzn.to/2fuE41A
You can try to prevent it by cracking the plugs 1/4 turn, then filling them with your favorite carbon dissolver, but sometimes they still break. This video shows how to use the EverTough 67002 Ford Triton Broken Spark Plug Porcelain and Electrode Removal Set. Be sure to pick up the consumables as well. That is EverTough 67003.

I ended up using a long 1/4 diameter punch to drive the porcelain down until I felt the ground strap give. Then a couple more taps with a light hammer. It was enough so I could thread the sleeve. Came right out. I can't imagine using any extraction tool on the back cylinders. Greg, your video was worth watching for sure. Wish they made the instruction drawings a lot bigger. I'm half blind and had a heck of a time trying to read them. I prayed a lot too.

+Greg's Garage That's good to know. I really like those trucks. Also, seems during manufacturing they didn't even use any anti-seize on the threads.

@hochutiem2678 8 лет назад

+adon31997 The manufacturer will never put any anti seize compound on these plugs because they want to have a maximum grounding contact between the plugs and the engine block to minimize misfired. The best way to prevent broken plug problem is to change your spark plugs every 5 years or 60,000 miles, not the 100K miles as these spark plugs were designed to last.

@PreetSingh-kx6mk 2 года назад

I work on 5.4s pretty often not gonna lie I just use half the kit. As far as extracting the porcelain and sleeve I just remove the electrode with needle noses pliers if I can by hand (if its sticking out)… then use the guide tool, stick a somewhat sharp philips screwdriver down the hole, using it softly as a center punch until the porcelain touches the ground strap you can feel it. Blow out the hole, tap it, screw the rod in and extract it. Done it a hundred times no problems so far. But thanks for showing people how to properly use the kit brother

@johnnyrizzo8057 6 лет назад

Thx for the video. I was skeptical looking at this tool. It really works. They should give you a few more inserts, so that 4 at a time can be getting glued, instead of waiting all day for the glue to dry. Thumbs up sir Btw, my original plugs came out in 2010, with 100,000 miles on them and none broke. The autolights broke, with probably 40,000 on the plugs. I also used antisieze as well. I re installed motorcraft plugs this time.

@rickneugebauer15 6 лет назад

Excellent Video, well put together, I was thinking I was going to be putting out of some major $ in getting this repaired. I still have 3 more spark plugs to go all on the right side. The hardest side I don't see how they expect you to remove these spark plugs without removing heater hose, wire harness, other crap that's in the way. Before removing the spark plugs things a definitely changing plugs use to be fairly easy. The only warring I heard was, stripping the threads, & braking the porcelain, nothing about about spark plug separating. Or maybe that's what they meant about braking the porcelain I was not expecting to find it broken below the threads and leave 1/2 the spark plug in the head. So muck for leaving for Montana in 3 days. Go figure

Now if only Ford would design a head that wouldn't spit the spark plugs out after 100K miles. I have 268k on mine. I have replaced coil packs, plugs and/or inserted heli-coils on all cylinders at least once and am working on round 2...only reason I haven't set it on fire and rolled it off a cliff is it once belonged to someone very special to me who has passed on.

@Marco-fi6gv 3 года назад

replaced mine With champions the first time I changed my plugs out. I changed them out as soon as I knew about this issue so I pre-purchase Lisle kit and had it ready when I did. I ended up breaking three that first time and that kid came in handy. That kid is worth its weight in gold and I think it's Superior to this method in the video. It was much easier, and no wait time, because no glue. Anyway champion plugs are one piece design and I've been happy with them. I've changed mine outA few times now and have never had an issue with breakage even though I don't warm up vehicle, use penetrating oil or any of that other stuff. I just go in and take him out and no problem at all. I do use nickel anti-seize also. I just hit 225k and and I was way overdue, so I just replaced mine last night and I figured I might as well throw some new coils on there with all the mileage. Those plugs were definitely worn out come on now it feels like a new truck today. I would hope that there aren't any people driving around with the original plugs in one of those trucks. Now that would be a nightmare, lol. 268k? Nice. How many miles do you have on it now?

@@ianmcfee5611 geez! You're not still buying the old style plugs are you? Shouldn't need to use a extractor's or any of that stuff with redesigned plugs from what I hear.

@leonspringsboystv2025 7 лет назад

plugs can develop issues as early as 40,000 miles.one thing people never factor into part life is idling .Wich doesn't show up on the odometer. the best thing is to hook up a scan tool...it will tell you exactly Wich ones are missing...and how... from there a proper diagnosis can be made...also when I worked at AutoZone I shit you not we always had 50 Ford ignition coils on hand because they go out the most often ....other coils we'd have maybe 1-2 in stock... this is the most common failure point on these triton engines...I even installed alot in the parking lot to make extra cash lol...if it's just one plug and you changed em recently try to replace that one plug first to correct the issue... if it doesn't do the trick you have a bad coil...things like spark plugs usually fail simultaneously(more than one at a time)...(7 years mechanical experience)

With the pause needed for glue to dry, I can see why a pro might prefer the Lisle tool. However the Lisle tool pushes porcelain fragments forward, some of which may end up in the cylinder.

Awesome, I have a 99 E350, so I can enjoy this, as it doesn't have this issue, the way the engine is in the vans, it would be enough to make you toss in a road flare and roast marshmallows, they are a true joy to work on, the engine is under the dash, it's best to remove the front seats to give room to lay in the floor. I have gone to 70's vans, they can be repaired easily, and cheap compared to what is out now, and has less to replace. I often wonder if that plug design was to break, or just make the vehicle disposable.

yep great thinking! This crazy plug problem was purposely engineered to create a profit center! Just looking at these plug, it looks odd they even fire ! Same engineers that used plastic brake pistons with undersized soft rotors... Eventually people got tired and learned... now look at what is on the road today 👍🏻 Accountants call that cash-cow: "drain it until its dead"

Hi Greg, did you have any issues getting the Loctite to setup? I'm 0 for 2 and after checking Loctite's website for the 680 and it says 24 hours for 75 deg. I'm thinking that the 1 hour isn't enough.

It was hit and miss. I let some of them set over night, never 24 hours.

Greg's Garage Thanks for the reply Greg. I finally got it after using a hair dryer down the hole for about 7 minutes. I'm in Seattle and the hat trick conditions of (1) 90% humidity (2) 50 degrees F (3) No air flow with the pin inserted made it a bad situation for getting glue to set. For anyone else trying this, my 2006 F150 I just bought had 175K miles on it and what looked to be the original plugs. After breaking two of them I turned all of them 3/8 to 1/2 of a turn and added 1.5 ounces of Seafoam and let them sit 2 hours. After doing that no more of them broke and I got the other 6 out in one piece.

Yep, the Triton plug change.. Had a local guy show up after his blew out 2 plugs. He was "So will this take long to change out the plugs?" I have three different kits, this one, the Lisle and an OTC kit that is supposed to help prevent breaking them. The Lisle kit can be faster, but it can cause issues as well. One tool that REALLY helps with these is a bore scope or camera that allows you to check the cylinder for any debris left behind.

***** Yes, I wish I had a scope. I'll have to take my chances I guess. I have a different problem now... A 10mm socket bounced off my battery and landed in one of the plug holes. I didn't see it land, but spent an hour looking for it and couldn't find it... Figured it found its way into a frame hole or something... when I went to extract that plug, I didn't notice the socket and wound up tapping on the tool because it wouldn't seat right, thus driving the socket into the threaded part of the hole... Ive spent about 6 hours trying to get the socket out with no luck... I'm guessing the head will have to come off.

That sucks. Try taking a coat hanger, cut a straight chunk, bend the ends into tight hooks then fold it in half. Stick the hooks through the socket and they should catch the socket enough that you can use a slide hammer type tool to pull with. On the scope issue. The HF unit (actually Autel made) works very well. Just make sure to get the small diameter probe (5.5mm) the larger one won't fit in a plug hole.

Yea, 99 4.0 ranger 220k, transmission changed at 110k, with shudder at 45, accelerating and just replaced the torque convertor. Trans guy says it's the engine missing. Engine seams to run ok. No codes on trans or engine. What's your thoughts please?

Lee Baisey plugs can develop issues as early as 40,000 miles... but the best thing is to hook up a scan tool...it will tell you exactly Wich ones are missing...and how... from there a proper diagnosis can be made...also when I worked at AutoZone I shit you not we always had 50 Ford ignition coils on hand because they go out the most often ....other coils we'd have maybe 1-2 in stock... this is the most common failure point on these triton engines
