go from under the car and you can do them without takin off the intake. its a pain but is alot better than pullin that manifold.

Remove bolt from front engine mount, pull motor forward. Should be enough room to get to the plugs.

I did the plugs on my contour 2.5 and I had to do the smae thing pulled the intake to change the back three. Take the throttle boday off...I beleive there is only like two or three vacume line that have to come off. I also think that there is an egr control solenoid bolted to the intake. I have never done the taurus plugs so it will be alittle differnet but it took me maybe an hour to change the back three plugs. The upper intake has a reusable gasket between it and the lower so u shouldnt need to get another gasket unless ur looks bad.
