Ford Fusion Duratec 1.6 - plug change - Roy1950
You may be able to help, I would like to get at the spark plugs of a Ford Fusion Duratec 1.6 engine. I can see two large bolts at the front of the air cleaner and what appears to be three small bolts along the rear of the case with the heads pointing downwards. These three bolts are not easy to access, do they have to be undone? If not what else has to be done to access the spark plugs? I have tried Haynes and they have not been able to help.
Thanks

Undo the two 10 mm bolts,move the right hand duct and undo the left hand R clip. You can do this by prising it apart gently with a small screwdriver,the air cleaner body wil then come off.It is held on at the back with two rubber mountings if these are a bit stiff gently lift the front of the air box and squirt some wd40 inthe general direction of the mountings, you should then be able to lift the air box assembly off.
