Spark Plug Removal
Had the two piece Motorcraft Spark Plugs changed out in the 2007 GT to the one piece Champion 7989. Some pics of the broken plugs. 7 hours of labor to get them out. New plugs, Lisle Removal Tool and Labour $525.00. I understand that there has been a class action award against Ford in the USA for this problem not sure about Canada. I will phone Ford Canada on Monday to find out.

Thanks. Yeah I heard about the heads being pulled on a few 5.4L trucks with the same problem, But in the end it worked out good. GT had lots of pickup and go before, now it is really spunky.

Makes you wonder why Ford would go to such a plug. I understand that due to many complaints that the spark plug was changed in engines/Mustangs built starting in November 2007. Mine was built in May 2007 so it missed the change.

Had it done on three F150's and 23/24 plugs broke. Two trucks had the head removed and total bill for the three combined was about $5000. I doubt it actually took them 7 hours to get them out. It's been a common problem for a long time and there are some guys that are really good at it.
