Makes me wonder why people don't change them sooner. They don't cost that much money. If it would save me 8 hours of aggravation, I would change them at 60K miles...
Tried that. 60K. Ford now says to do it at 60K to make it easier. Took it to the man. He soaked them, he added the fluid to the engine to loosen them. Did everything Ford says to do. He bent the ratchet handle trying to get them out. Called me. Said he would keep goin if I wanted to. I figured If there are that hard now, may as well wait until they have 100K. Shoot I might not even have the truck then. Bottom line. they are still in there, Motor is running fine.
60K means nothing. They still won't come out.
