Changing the plugs on my '99 Taurus was easy, but having a number of flexible socket extensions and having learned how to change spark plugs "by feel" (due to previous ownership of Volkswagens and Porsches) is probably responsible for that!
My '99 has OHV V-6, which probably gives more working room for those back plugs than the DOHC motor -- if that is what was in your friend's 2001.
