86 12 Brutus Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 Good luck! That doesn't sound like fun. nothing about working on a 300 is fun, you can park a full size LTD on the driver side under the hood, and on the passenger side, you cant fit a pregnant ant and thats where everything is.

Anything to get it red hot and back it out easy. As soon as it starts turning, dont stop until it is out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might add that if you can tap on the head of that bolt with a light hammer, might want to do that too. The heat and impact are a good combination for removal.

The ones I linked above are 7/16-14 That seems universal for the EFI Fords: 4.9, 5.8, 7.5, and the Tritons including the 10 cylinder. I'm pretty amazed they don't stock them.
