Front are in plain view. Looks like the intake manifold assembly needs
to be removed for the rear access ? It's not time yet, but just so I'm
prepared at the time.

Never done plugs on this vehicle, but, I did to them on a Turd
Windstar... I'm assuming it's a similar configuration although likely
to be much different.

To get the back three plugs on the Windstar, you have to have your
spark plug socket with a 1" extension on your ratchet. Not really
hard, just takes patience and in this case, the correct tool for the
job.

It is not necessary to remove the intake manifold to access the rear
sparkplugs. A combination of extensions (preferably wobble extensions)
universal joints, about 12 inches of vacuum tubing, and patience should get
the job done.

**********
You can probably get away with 6 or 8 inches, but since it is sold by the
foot, just buy 12 inches.

If you are wondering what it is for, see Tomes' post.
