1998 Navigator New Plugs

Anyone know what I need to remove to get to the back 6 plugs in the Nav. I cannot see what I need to do. And the book does not mention anything about it. Anyone ever replace their plugs themselves??

1. Disconnect battery ground.
2. From the firewall junction block, remove positive battery cable and store
behind battery.
3. Drain radiator and remove upper radiator hose. Disconnect heater & vent
hoses to allow access to plug cover.
4. Remove 2 screws from wire support bracket at the firewall and pull up out
of the way.
5. Remove 2 bolts from plug covers and work cover free.
6. Remove plug coil assembly and plugs 1 at a time and using 5/8 plug socket
and combination of different length extensions and universal joints,
remove and replace plugs. Hook up all the hoses, reconnect positive
cables and hang the wire support bracket back on the firewall.


Now for the fun side!

7. Remove the left front wheel, using an 1 1/4 inch end wrench, back off EGR
tube nut to free the tube.
8. Remove air filter assy.
9. Loosen the lower power steering reservoir retaining screw and remove the 2 upper screws and
move reservoir out of the way.
10. Disconnect wires from the 2 EGR sensors on intake manifold then remove
sensors.
11. Using a long pry bar move the EGR tube up about 2 inches.
12. Remove plug cover and replace plugs the same way as the right side.
13. Replace EGR sensors, connectors and power steering reservoir.
14. Using some sort of hook and strap ( I used the loose end of a ratchet
strap ) hook the small tube on the EGR tube and drop the strap past the
inside of torsion bar. Pull the strap to pull the EGR tube back into place
and tighten the nut.
15. Replace air filter, wheel, coolant and reconnect battery.

If you decide to do this, could you take pictures along the way so i can write up a how to for it please.
