The Ford special service tool is a big slide hammer with a 90 degree fork on the end that slips behind the inner end of the shaft.
i seen that too. the other one looks more of what is correct according to everyone (saying go in from the other side and tap it out)

they've been clickin for some time now at full lock. started out only in R but now all the time. the boots also have been ripped since i got it. well, more like pulled out and mangled. i'm surprised they made it this 70K
A friend asked me if I wanted a frozen banana, I said "No, but I want a regular banana later, so Yeah."

Tapping it out from the passengers side is what you do when you don't have the slide hammer :?

Yup, as a person that has had his transmission out more than in a slide hammer is the best way to go.
