1998 Explorer XLT
I have a 98 Explorer XLT V6. I replaced the driver side (left) spark plugs but I can't figure out how to get to the right side plugs. It has A/C so that is in the way. The one plug in the front that I can get to, I can't get the wire off of. Any info will be much appreciated. Thanks
 












You can push the stuck wire off from underneath using a long screw driver too
 






I'd be careful about using a screwdriver. There are some tools out there for pulling the boots, but the passenger side of the explorer is so cramped I doubt it would help much. You really have to be patient and inventive to get these off. To prevent it from happening again make sure you use the dielectric grease on the contacts.
