Change spark plugs on 93

[Brian 123]

I have a 1993 Aerostar and find a few of the spark plugs are very difficult to reach - is there a procedure for getting to them?

Thanks

I have a 92 Aerostar, aka "the Beast." I just changed all the plugs and wires. There's only one way to get to 'em. you may need to remove the cover below your radio (doghouse cover). On the driver's side you just have to bust your knuckles and change sockets a lot. On the passanger side, you should probably reach through the wheel well. I found it easiest to do it that way. It helps to have 2 people. One can help guide the sockets onto the plugs, cause they're impossible to see from the wheel well. Good luck!

Thanks for the info "FghtinIrshNvrDie" - what do you mean by "on the drivers side you need to change sockets alot?"

Going through the fender well on the passenger side is the best way for the first two plugs, but I found the back plug was easier accessed underneath the passenger side of the van by snaking your arm up between the exhaust (engine cool of course). Some extensions and a swivel for your socket wrench will most likely be needed, and the two-man job is a very good idea.
BTW... You will also need to jack up the passenger side of the van, pull the wheel off, and support vehicle with a jack stand.
