WoodGood Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 2019 Ford Edge ST Tried to get to back 3 plugs (cyl's 1, 2 and 3 - transverse engine), but can't even get close due to turbo inlet tube. Tube totally covers both plugs. #1 cylinder is barely doable with loosening all the mounting bolts (top side) on inlet tube. Seems like the turbo inlet tube needs to be detached down below at the turbo. Tried to go in through the passenger side wheel well with liner removed but could even see it. Suggestions please if anyone has done this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1004ron Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 It should be the same as my Sport - I did not remove that tube, but would probably do so next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just using factory plugs, but how did you even pull the coils with that tube resting on top of them. I can't seem to move the tube forwards or backwards more than about 1" and can't move it up any more than about 1/2". I can't even get my hands around the coil to pull it ??? Did you just pry the tube forcefully in a direction you needed. I'm worried about breaking the joint down at the turbo if I do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruzr1 Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 (edited) Don't know if you completed this yet. There is a YT video of a guy changing plugs on his Fusion with the 2.7 engine. He used a bungy cord to hold that tube aside to reach the back area. That is how I did mine and it worked out great, just be easy with it. My repair manual says to remove that tube also, but I couldn't find a way to reach it either. Also, I used the newest SP-594 plugs.
