Here is a great game… how many different tools does it take to change plugs and coils on a ford f150?
Automotive engineers are like broke farmers, use what ever nail/screw is closest to you for your project…
Can’t they just use one size, or at least choose two and stick with it! SMH!!!
BTW, this is ChatGPT-4's response. Completely leaves out the tools needed to remove all the sh*t in the way of getting to said parts to be replaced:
"To change the spark plugs and coils in a 2005 Ford F-150 XLT, you will need the following tools:
Spark plug socket: This is a specialized socket with a rubber gasket inside that grips the spark plug securely.
Ratchet wrench: This is used to turn the spark plug socket and loosen the spark plug.
Extension bar: This is used to extend the reach of the ratchet wrench and spark plug socket.
Coil removal tool: This is a specialized tool that helps you to remove the coil from the spark plug.
Dielectric grease: This is a type of grease that is applied to the spark plug boot to prevent it from sticking to the spark plug.
Torque wrench: This is used to tighten the spark plugs to the correct torque.
The sizes of the tools you will need are:
Spark plug socket: 5/8 inch or 16mm
Ratchet wrench: 3/8 inch
Extension bar: 3/8 inch
Coil removal tool: Depending on the type of tool, it may be designed to fit multiple sizes.
It's also a good idea to have a gap tool to check and adjust the spark plug gap if necessary. The correct gap for the 2005 Ford F-150 XLT is 0.054 inches.
Note: Be sure to consult the owner's manual or a reliable repair manual for specific instructions on how to change the spark plugs and coils on your particular vehicle."
