Way too many. ANd it was my fault, I just put it off too long. Just a product of being too damn busy. 150k miles

Me and my wife both have 04-05 f150's when I changed my plugs I broke 5 of 8, went and bought the $200 tool and got them all out but it is a major pain in the azz. Changed her plugs back in april and broke 1 but it came out easy. I hope you put the one piece plugs back in they are more $$$ but worth not having to go through all the hassle.

the plugs in the fords in the mid 2000's are notorious for breaking off. they have a special tool for those plugs, or at least our shop mechanic has one. not sure if he made it or bought it. i am surprised they didn't change the coil packs when they did the spark plugs.
