Okay, I know this thread has been covered before, but since I didn't need the info at the time I overlooked it, until now. On my 07 Ranger's 4.0, I need (want) to change my plugs, but the pass side looks impossible to get to because of the AC and a ton of tubing. I heard you guys talking about getting to them via the fenderwell. How? Under it going up? Removing it?:bawling:
 
Between the plastic inner fender and the frame rail

On my early truck with an OHV engine and a 1" body lift I've got a
straight shot at all three once I take the tire off.

On your truck there is a rubber flap that's retained by those
"pine tree" push pins if you remove it for the job you'll have all the room you need.

The passenger side is actually easier I find, the egr tube is a pain in the ass to get get around on the driver side of my 97. You gotta navigate carefully though because you can't see 2 and 3 at all on the passenger side. What I do is after taking the boots off, take the spark plug socket and hook it up to the plug. Then take the wrench by the head, find the socket and turn spindle on the wrench until it hooks into the socket. Then it should be easy after that. and vise versa for tightening.
