You would think Ford would put some anti seize on them from the factory. I did mine today. I'll check them in another 10K miles, they are really easy to get at. With 14K on the clock mine were really snug, I was really thinking the worst and could just feel one snapping off. That would have been one of those typical preventive maintenance things that goes completly bad and puts the car down for days...[:@]

Did you use any type of penetrant before you did it?

I just added new OE spark plugs at 42,000miles, and the increases in responsiveness and idle-stability were incredible.

Different people are reporting different things... I'd get them out and reinstalled with anti-seize as soon as I have a chance and get it over with.
