    Hello friends, I just realize this has been discussed before, but I had the unfortunate roadside flat, and it took an hour to get the six Lugnuts off because I thought the Ford supplied lug nut wrench with the jack was defective . It was not. Long story short all the fourth Jens come out of...

    Hello again, friends, instead of trying to find a Ford tech who can mount the rear wiper motor level, is there anyone who knows if we can loosen and re-level the rear wiper motor easily? Or is it not worth the risk to the glass, at Cetera…? Again, many thanks, Bob
