if your talking about the aux shaft?
the sump needs to be removed ,the harmonic balancer needs to be removed, the timing chain tensioner removed, timing case needs to be removed, the timing chain needs to be removed, the aux shaft chain gear needs to come off, then there are 2 small hex key bolts that hold the retainer plate that need to be removed, then you just pull the shaft out.... |

Timing chains are obsolete from Ford.
