How hard to chg spark plugs on '95 3.0 L?
How tough is it to change spark plugs on my 1995 Ranger 3.0 L v-6?
I have changed head gaskets ,water pumps, belts, etc. on other cars but have never had to do anything on my Ranger, and looking in the engine compartment it looks very tight to get at the plugs.
125,000 miles and never needed changing until now when it has started to miss a little. Should I change wires at same time? Thanks

not sure how hard it is on the 3.0 but the 4.0 was a pain in the *** on the passenger side..Literally too me over 2hrs to change plugs :S if its anything like the 4.0 its easier to remove your tire and get them from the wheel wells. yeah 125 000 miles id change the wired too.

I have big hands and I was able to do it from the top. Sure it is a tight fit, but it can be done without too much trouble. Whatever you do...DO NOT go with Bosch plugs. Stick with Autolight platinums or Motorcraft platinum plugs.....and like they said already...change the wires at the same time.

just remember when you change the wires..
change one at a time, never pull all the wires off at once. (unless you are 100% positive you know where they all go.)
at 125k i would also look into the fuel filter if you have never changed it.
