Developed a leak so I decided I would fix it myself. What a pain. This is one of those jobs you have to reach and feel of the bolts, nuts that you cannot see.
To easy for the ratchet to work, to tight for your fingers. I layed on my back for 30 minutes at a time trying to remove or replace 1 stud or nut.
And typical of the 5.4 the back studs were broke due to the warped manifold.
Had to completely remove the transmission cross member and the mount and also unbolt the front driveshaft from the transfer case, all this just to get the cats out of the way.
I had to buy a right angle air powered drill motor. Thank goodness the studs that broke was the back ones as you can see if it had been the front 3 cylinders the motor would had to come out.
