since ive had to do it 4 times i've gotten fast too. I do it the same way you do usually, but i found a faster way... do it when the engine is just hangin there because you are puttin a new tranny in.

Hope he doesn't make it sound as difficult this time.  For the LIM follow the UIM clean proceedure. Get a Fuel line tool, disconnect the 2 lines. Unclip the IMRC, unclip all the injectors, undo all the bolts connecting it to the heads, remove and clean. Don't forget new LIM gaskets. Tq in a criss cross pattern all the bolts to 7 ft. lbs.

He... who, Todd?
If you are referring to the details in the how-to's I write, I have been ASKED to write them in that manner, because not everyone knows the terms, acronyms, nor associated intricacies of the engine to simply read "loosen, remove, install", and be able to do it. They could be a haynes manual for THAT much help.. FWIW: it seems to be working, because I have received I don't know how many compliments on the style of writing I chose.

I'm just messin'. It's not that stuff it's the tools that you used & the way you do it that makes it sound more difficult is all.

Well I just finished my ALT. Having big hands will not help you!
I sprayed the hell out of bolts with liquide wrench, and let them sit overnight. They were easy to turn, no problems at all.
This was not an easy job at all, but because of your writeup Ray I went ahead and did it. Followed your writeup with some slight modifications.
One independent mechanic turned the job down, said to take it to Ford. No way Ford!
Thanks again Ray.
Oh.. by the way... when you flick that little wire across the plug off, be carefull! Had to go looking for mine! it landed on top of the V pipe!.
