SPARK PLUG REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS -Ford 4.6L & 5.4L T.S.B. 08-7-6
Below you will find the service procedure for removal and extraction of the broken spark plugs. This process will take approximately 1 hr and 10 minutes to change all 8 plugs. I have added a link for the tool to remove broken plugs. This is the cheapest you will find this tool. Im doing plugs on a 5.4 and 3 broke. I was able to get 2 of them out. 2 cylinder. The porcelain and electrode are on the electrode shield. I used tge "pusher tool" and it bottoms out. When I look in the spark plug hole it doesn't look like the porcelain is pushed down in the shield. It looks like the whole shield is pushed down into the head and the other tool won't thread into the shield. Is it possible that the shield got pushed down too far? Do you know what the part number for the tool from O'Reilys?
I spent about 14 hours on my plugs. Each one broke, even following the TSB to the letter. In the end i got them all out, but I do have some ideas for consideration for the next person. First, The ceramic pusher said there is no guessing as to how far to push the ceramic down because of the electrode strap, when I went too far, it actually pushed the ceramic through the electrode strap. If you hear a snap when doing this, stop and proceed to the removal tool. It probably was the electrode strap breaking and you don't want to go further. Second, make sure the removal tools threads are not stripped and are in really good shape. I rented one from a local shop and two of the threads were stripped (the first two that would start to bite). I was able to get 7 of the plugs out with it and then the last one wouldn't go. I went back to the shop and got their other tool, which worked great because it was brand new. If you rent - a great option (OReilly Auto - 100 dollar deposit for 2 days and you get a full refund upon return) make sure the tool is in great shape.
