Do you have to pull the head on a 2004 Ford Taurus to change the spark plugs?

I have changed the fuel filter %26amp; it was full of rust. This stopped the sputtering at low speed 4 about a week. Think it probably needs changed again. While I am doing this for my friend I was going to change the spark plugs. I don't have access to the car right now it is in another state, %26amp; before I buy spark plugs I was wondering if anyone could tell me how hard they are to change.Do you have to pull the head on a 2004 Ford Taurus to change the spark plugs?
No you do not have to take the head off.

They are fairly easy to change also.Do you have to pull the head on a 2004 Ford Taurus to change the spark plugs?
Typical V6 FWD vehicle - the back plugs are somewhat of a hassle but not anywhere near as bad as some vehicles. You shouldn't have any problems if you've got access to some decent tools.
u shud b able to do them with no prob
dont know the F/T but ford v6plugs arnt that bad the best things to do it with is a good make3/8 drive socket %26amp; extensions you will have more room to work with 3/8 than 1/2. get an assortment of lengths of extensions.
The best way to change plugs in this is to pull the right side windshield wiper box . It takes 3 bolts that are 7/32 of inch and 3 clips . This makes it easier to get to back plugs . I do a lot of Taurus repairs and this is the best way to get your hands back there . If it is a DOHC motor you have to pull the upper intake if it wraps over the plugs . Have not changed a 2004 DOHC so I am not sure but on the 2001 you have to . Good luck and this is about a 2 hour job taking your time less on the 12 valve Vulcan motor . Do not get frustrated it isn't all that bad .
No need to remove head, the back cylinders are a bit of a pain to remove and replace plugs in , but straightforward job. Change that fuel filter also, it will always help, if the last one was plugged you can be sure it will be doing it again.
