I think it cost me $60 off for a Kincrome 14mm impact socket and 75odd cm bar. Not what I'd call expensive by any means.

WD40 is a penetrating oil with a much lower viscosity than engine oil, that is all - even though I did not mention it, that is just a thought.

You just unbolt it from the head, there are two support brackets that will hold it in place. |

The unbolting bit is the part that makes me want to roll the car into a lake.. i have the worst time trying to get those darn intake bolts off for some reason =/

It's a right royal pain. But I found that with a good 10mm spanner and a 10mm 1/4-drive socket with swivel and extension - and a lot of patience - it can be done successfully. Clearly, Ford did not intend the manifold to be removed with the engine in the car - but then, they only have to put it together
