Hello folks,
I'm trying to help my friend with his 97 Expo with the 5.4 liter. My question is how should I go about replacing the oil filter housing gasket as there are many hoses and the front diff in the way. I've done hundreds of these on the 4.6, but not on the 5.4 with 4 wheel drive. I also need to mention the oil filter is located in the bumper. I've been told that I need to drop the front diff and others say all you need is a long extension and a swivel.
Appreciate any support as I would rather do this at home on my back than at work with a lift. (Long story lol)
Please advise,
Bryan
