^^^ What he said ^^^

I have done manifold studs on a few other trucks/Expeditions.
Most of the work is pulling tire/wheel and fender liner.
I soak everything down with penetrant multiple times beforehand.
Then just being careful getting the old pieces out.
Not terrible.
The A.C. I haven't had to take on my Raptor.
I need shocks or rebuilds too.
Good luck with the repairs, intro, and pics; especially the pics !
