Re: Changing Fuel Pump - Special Tool

also a note, if it is the factory fuel pump, you will have to cut the fuel pump retainer from the bottom of the fuel tank once the pump is out. otherwise the new pump will not go in. updated pump

Re: ford techs unite!!!!!!!!!!

You think that is bad, wait until you get a new fiesta in for a timing belt......VCT cams, timing belt, and no keyway on the crank for the timing gear and the pulley. My buddy at work had to do a oil pump under warranty. Trying to time that thing while trying to hold everything in place while perfor...

Re: Crapola From WIX????

The volume of airflow into your intake manifold with the supercharger is drastically limited the the size of your throttle body. I am not and engineer but I highly doubt that small amount of foam covering that corner will effect airflow. I am sure there is a some sort of formula you could find for ...

Re: Steering Shaft Bearing/s?

I've replaced them in F-series pickups, but never in a focus. I doubt they are available for a focus. more than likely you'd be looking at replacing the entire column. junkyards are the way to go
