Welcome to FTF!

I think this TSB applies to your engine...

3 Valve Engine Spark Plug Removal

There are several threads concerning spark plugs in the modular engines in the 4.6, 5.4, V10 forum.

If its a 98 it's a 2valve engine the only advise I have is to start on it cold! the back two on the pass side are the hardest but if you remove the plastic cover on the fuse and wiring harness that's mounted on the fire wall and take all the bolts out of the bracket it will make it a lot easier to reach those plugs. I always use motorcraft or autolite plugs you can go with oe plugs or single platinum. I put anti seize on the treads and use dielectric grease on all boots. I think all 5.4s have coil on plugs so new boots for the coils would be up to you the are not to expensive to replace. The coil bolts are 7mm and a swivel makes it easier to get them out.
