As a Ford dealer tech, I'll weigh in here. I don't change plugs on a hot engine, tends to burn fingers mostly. On the 3 valve engines, I use my 3/8 impact to remove. Had another tech tell me that and haven't broken one off since. If you do break one off, Lisle Tools makes an excellent extractor. Always put the 2 valve plugs in with a torque wrench. Don't put antiseize or anything else on them. There aren't many threads down there, lubrication increases the stress on the threads. The plugs already have a nickel coating on the threads for corrosion protection. I have yet to run across a reason to pull the head for any sort of spark plug issue. The 3 valve extractor works very well, and the Time-Sert threading kit all Ford dealers are supposed to have works well too. Use Motorcraft plugs in them. Champions are a waste of money in my opinion. With the marginal threads in the 2V engines, why would you risk using a "will fit" vs an "engineered for that exact application" part?
