@FordTechMakuloco i watched another video, with timing cover removed, there was no need to remove the roller follower to replace cam phasers and chains. I'm at the point of removing the chains. do i really need to remove the followers?
FordTechMakuloco will it be off time if i spin crankshaft? Both chains were on , already time before i spon it just to have clearance to put the rest of roller followers. Will i have to put it back at 6 oclock? After spining it ?
HEY IS IT OK TO JUST LOOSEN THE TWO TOP CAM BOLTS ON THE LOB INSTEAD OF USEING THE VALVE SPRING COMPRESSOR TOOL?
Is this the same for all 5.4L Engines?
FordTechMakuloco i just got a 99 lightning engine setup for my 03 fx4..I'm doing timing and adjusters and followers..i found oem cobra set for good deal..are all rockers the same? M 6529 svt rockers..also are all adjusters the same?? Thanks. I can't find good info on this anywhere..u rock!! Love ur work...
Saving my ass when I lost overdrive now saving me when I'm about to do a full timing job. Your knowledge on these motors is unparalled and we're all grateful that you share it with us
I am doing a timing chain, cam phaser job with new lifters and roller rockers. I had a huge problem trying to remove the old followers on some of the cylinders following your guidance. I ended up having to remove the cam shafts to get them all out. I though maybe the chain had slipped and caused the cam lobes to be too far from the base circle to get them out and I didnt want too risk popping off keepers or other damage. After following all your steps for timing chain and phaser replacement will all Ford parts and having replaced all the lifters before reinstalling the cams, I then started to reinstall the followers and once again was having difficulty putting them in. Finally after struggling through 3 of them I inspected the genuine OTC 6684 tool that I had purchased from a defunct Ford Dealership selling off tools, I found that the part that pushes the valve down was bent! It wasnt real obvious but it was enough to only allow the valve to be depressed partially. So I carefully straightened out the tool and it was like magic. All those follower went in with no trouble.
Just goes to show how careful you are to do it right some things just go wrong. Im just happy to have it resolved. I will be done with the job tommorrow. Im 68 years old and a retired Ford Tech, but I havent done major engine work for decades as I specialized in electrical/electronics/AC/ etc. Thanks for all your great videos and guidance.
Man, I could watch this guy for hours. Much better than Netflix.
I agree!!!!
You Tube is all I watch anymore. Better content and choice.
I just did, the entire 4 part series and a few others
Me too. I'm about to pull my cam covers because I believe I have follower problems as well and his videos are indispensable for me.
Some of us have watched this guy for hours……… trying to keep these engines going
I could literally never understand another mechanic and I’m a woman but the knowledge and experience this man has along with the detail he provides is just amazing. I’m actually so happy I’ve found your channel 😅
Dear FordTechMakuloco this is just an update on the Expedition in the video .The motor is running great just hit 183k and still runs like the day i bought it .I maintain it religiously , Thanks Again for your great work
Same here. Not sure why theirs so much hate on the 5.4. Just hit 200K miles on mine and still runs great. However every 3 months or so I end up replacing something. Alternator, pulley bearings, starter, ignition coils.... Always something to fix but the engine itself is great. After seeing this video i'm not going to attempt replacing these roller followers but am definitely taking it to a mechanic to replace.
@@danbiss87 Sounds a lot like normal maintenance over 200k brother.
Thank you so much for these videos. Your description and camera work are excellent. I'm working on my first Triton 5.4, with the dreaded valve ticking, so this is just what I needed. Thank you again!
thanks for spending time Brian educating mechanics that don't get factory ford info it is much appreciated i have been a ford man a long time and there is always something new to learn
Thanks again for the great videos. I had a bad clacking noise on our 2012 Expedition. Took the cover off and found the rear most, passenger side, roller follower seized up just like the one in your other video. Swapped it out and purrs like new. Thank you!!
Man your videos are so clear and you explain it very well. Thank you, you give me confidence doing work on my f150
I have a 2008 Ford Expedition. I was blessed to have come across your page on CZcams to better educate me on this motor. You REALLY helped me out. I spent a while looking places up, took your advice on a lot of things to look at for at dealerships so I drove to Orlando to get the roller followers, camshafts (if needed) and timing done. I was going to get the updated oil pump too. In Miami I was quoted 4,500 and in Orlando I was quoted $2,700, both at Ford dealerships…Orlando being the cheapest. Once the tech looked at the truck I was told I have metal shavings in my oil filter and said that I need a new motor because the motor is eating itself from the inside out. They did not open the motor at all. I requested prior to coming up here that I wanted to see whatever the tech finds but there was no communication. Now I am headed back to Miami to another dealership for a second opinion. I sure wish I was near Chicago brother, you would definitely done my motor over/replaced it. It’s so hard finding people that’ll do it right! Thanks for all those videos my friend. Any advice will help out.
As long as the engine oil was maintained you will be ok with just a timing job. Fine metal in the filter would be the result of the chain hitting the front cover like they all do, no big deal. $2,700 sounds way too low like they are not replacing everything, $4,500 sounds right for a dealer. I even charge $3,500 to $4k with all the extras as an independent.
@@FordTechMakuloco I really appreciate you getting back to me brother. Means a lot .
@@FordTechMakuloco am I able to remove the lifter one I removed the follower? Mines making a tapping sound and I would want to replace both. Thanks
You are so humble which is good to see from somebody that is so highly skilled it.
You are the MAN!!!
I have a 2009 f 150 with 200 thousand miles and was told I needed a new engine. Did timing job myself. She’s purring like a kitten. I could not have done it without your video! Thank you!!!!!
You do oil pump and followers too? I’m about to do the same and figuring how many things I want to replace
@@hunterprice287 Might as well do everything, as you don't want to have to go in again.
By far the most thorough and detailed mechanic videos made! And the most honest mechanic out there. Thanks for taking the time to shoot and post these videos. You've helped us owners more than you know.
Really appreciate you being so through. Great show...
I bought a 2005 f150 Lariat with 136k miles that was in great shape, but had a misfire when I test drove it and also a tick. I first did the spark plugs and coils and found all but 2 were loose and one had the end broke off. It drove better but still didn’t have power and felt like it was still misfiring and ticking . I then decided to change all the roller followers and lash adapters. I took the valve covers off and found my problem, it was a roller follower locked up and the cam had been just grinding away on it on the right side of my engine. After replacing my cam, roller followers, and lash adapters my truck runs like new. I couldn’t have done it without your amazing videos!
Fantastic tutorial. My 2011 Expedition sounded like a diesel and had lost power under acceleration. Figured it was timing related or something else. Used a stethoscope to figure out where the sound was coming from, it was loudest at the rear most passenger side roller follower. Turns out one roller follower was completely seized and the other 2 on that back cylinder weren't too far behind it. I figure it wasn't too couldn't have been too far from grenading itself completely. Great tutorial and the tool recommendations were very helpful to be able to swap out the roller followers... Saved me from spending $$$ at a shop or worse yet, having to replace the vehicle completely.
That seems less frustrating than replacing the passenger exhaust manifold! I have no ticking at 181k, but I think I'm ready to tackle this job when I do. Thank you for sharing.
Great video as usual. I still recommend your channel to people on a regular basis.
+Brandon Peterman Thanks! I appreciate that.
its been @7,000 miles since doing my timing job after watching your vids,its running great!i bought the tool from ford racing to compress the springs,it did work,but almost need 3 hands to use it and it has a set screw with a little allen wrench to lock it into place,way to complicated,should of got that one from otc, so much easier
Rookie mistake... I placed a towel near the phaser to prevent anything from falling down into the pan. Placed another towel on top and cleaned up all gasket material and dirt. Started working and was stumped why the engine was so hard to turn over with 18mm. Realized I forgot to remove the towel and binded it up in the phaser, chain, etc. Slowly cutaway material and turned the motor over manually until I could pull the towel out of the teeth. Hopefully I did not stretch the chain or throw off timing. Guess I will be doing complete timing job next. Still can't believe I did that... thank you for the great video!
Threw P0017 code.
So sorry to hear that bro !
Did you fix it by doing the complete timing chain job ?
@fordtechmakuloco
Just wanted to say thank you for the video. Not only did your video save me thousands of dollars from the dealership, but it also helped give me some quality time with my grandpa. He and I followed your instructions today in fixing my 2010 5.4 three valve. Thanks for the help you put out.
That make the car misfire
Thank you so much, your videos have literally saved me thousands of dollars, u rock
Get the OEM valve spring tool! I tried to save a buck and the cheaply made knock off I bought was garbage and didn't work. You're already saving money by doing this job yourself so bite the bullet and get the right tool. Rent it if you can. Also thanks so much for this video. I learn so much and have saved so much money by doing repairs myself. Merry Christmas and take care.
Dude you've saved my bacon so so so many times , thank you for everything you've published so very much
Extremely informative, my mechanic is extremely happy I showed him this because he’s been having nightmares knowing this job was being started today lol THANK YOU!
You need a new mechanic. This is first year apprentice stuff.
@@tombryant4518 🤣😂
@@royalteelawncarelandscapin5369 Am I wrong? I get told that I’m a bit gruff with young ones.
Mark, I quit fighting to get each individual rocker fished out. I remove the camshaft. The cam phaser more than likely needs to replaced as a regular maintenance item anyway. Laying across the fender doing it 12 times gets old. Usually it can be done 30 minutes faster. That adds up to an hour total. Thanks for the educational videos!
Were there any tricks to replacing the entire camshaft? Sounds like it is worth the extra $
Hello I just want to say u are awesome I love watching all ur videos of u fixing Ford F-150. I am doing a timing job on my 2006 Ford F-150 Fx4 5.4 I am watching ur video just Kind of confused putting in the roller followers at the end
Happy Thanksgiving Brain. Thanks for all your videos and valuable information on the 5.4 3 v it's very much appreciated.
Thanks for these amazing videos, sure is an intimidating job, currently putting my 07 Expedition back together. I hope it runs smooth 😬
Did it run smooth?
@@fixitdude9748 i guess not, he never answers
Now a video comes out a month after i replace mine haha. You are the man for making these videos. Im 19 and did a full timing chain job for my 5.4. Even replaced the roller followers and lash adjusters. You saved me a lot of money. Both tentioner gaskets were completely destroyed.
I’m just want to thank you for all your helpful videos Thanks for sharing your knowledge
God bless you
thank you soo much for doing this video I am just getting into being a technician and my first job I am doing is a Cam phaser delete kit on my own 2005 F-250 supper duty 5.4L and this video plus the one you have on removing the cam phasers has helped me a lot and saved me sooo much anger, I even went and asked my local ford dealer if they would loan the tool to me and they said come on down and get it no charge, so thank you very much for putting this video out to the world.
bad idea
You'll have to have a program written and installed.
As always, love the channel, and your attention to detail. You my friend are top notch! Thank you for your continued effort to keep us 5.4 3v guys going. My 2005 F-150 is still going strong thanks in part to your video’s
Do you do this type of work on Ford vehicles? I live in Miami.
@@Pbaglio21 Yes, I've rebuilt a number of 5.4 3V motors. Send me an email, or DM in my IG page. My email can be found on my CZcams channel page.
Great video thanks! I missed the "very important part" about pushing as you compress the spring. A bit of stomach in the throat moment when I saw a keeper fall as I lifted out the rocker. Luckily the tool had shifted a bit and the spring was pushing the valve sideways preventing it from falling into the cylinder. With some strong magnets, a little pry to center the top, I managed to get it all back together, released the tension to make sure the keepers were seated and then recompressed it to put the new rocker in.
Holy smoke, I would have pooped my pants. Great job.
Wow!. This is by biggest concern. You got lucky. Glad it worked out.
Yeah.... a really important part of the procedure...
Dude your the best you showed how to do it without removal of head or engine. This saves us big I’m eyeing 1 2008 f150 fx4 with the 5.4 I think I’ll buy it it’s at 1800 with out the auction fees. I’m not scared no more.
Love your videos man I was happy to find out your in Chicago!! I'll be giving u a call soon!
After watching your videos, it sounds like the melling high volume pump and oem timing kit must happen eventually. Was debating just replacing roller/follower and adjusters. Thanks to your videos I will attempt full timing kit and vcts ensuring the new roller/followers, adjusters, and existing cams last another 175k. Definitely supporting your channel and will order a shirt or hoodie🤙
Thank you @Fordtechmakuloco
Great demonstration! Beautiful video work as well with perfect lighting and focus. Thanks!
You're my kind of guy. I want to replace me 2001 Ford Lightning engine and you're someone I would totally trust to do it. I just wished you lived in my area.
Thank goodness you didn't show the flat screwdriver "pop out" method. The tool also works on the 4.6 3 valve engines as well. Great video!
Robert Kohut he did detail that method in another video awhile back
Yes I know, but it's bad advice. Glad he didn't here.
Good info Brian. It might be a good idea after replacing the rollers to doosch them down with engine oil before start up.
i'd rather soak them to make sure oil gets to the pin
YEA I THOUGHT THE SAME THING 24 HR PRIOR.
Very interesting video. Do you have any tips to find which one is failed ?
Love the videos you have so much good information thank you. So my 05 navigator 5.4 3 valve just stated with the problem I took the valve cover off and cylinder 2 roller folower came loose and scuffed my cam. Where can I purchase a new camshaft and roller flowers. Thank you
Found this video! Again very clear and informative. Thank you very much!
love your videos! keep up the great work. thank you from all of us
Thanks!
@@FordTechMakuloco can you replace the lash adjusters on a 06 mustang 3v without cam removal?
There just isn't enough time in the day for you to advise everyone and still get these projects done so I don't know how you pull it off. You might want to think about just being a Video/Phone 5.4l consultant. I would gladly pay $20 for your 5 minutes of sound advise.
Nice vid in have a f250 its have a misfire im going check coil number 3 but and change all spark plug if not get fix going to check that too
Thanks alot for the link to this video. This is exactly what I needed
I watch lots of your videos and I know my truck needs cam phasers. The job just looks so intimidating and I do not want to take to a shop so they could drain my wallet out. Guess I’ll have to man up at some point and start the process. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, pray for me! Lol
Martin Rodriguez I’m currently in the process of doing the timing chain replacement on 2007 5.4L 3V Expedition, it is intimidating and slightly overwhelming at times. But with this video,his 4 stage videos on timing chain replacement, this job is doable, and will save you a lot of money.
Please send an update on how it went. I'm in the process as well and wonder if anyone has had the same difficulties I have.
@@04EXCURSION If you think that one is intimidating you don't want to do chains on a 3.5 ecoboost
When doing a complete timing job. Can you remove all the follower when at base lob, or must you first remove the 6 followers first to get to neutral position and then remove remainder followers?
Thank you for the great videos very informative. I will be doing my timing chains and fasers change. I was going get some of the parts but amazon says that oil pump and roller followers aren't compatible for my 2010 f150 5.4l 3v. What oil pump, roller followers and thrash adjusters would recommend for my f150. Thank you very much!
I got a 2013 Ford F-150 XLT with a 5.0 82000 miles still runs like new I love it glad I didn’t get the 5.4L 3 v
How about a video on replacing valve stem seals?
I know this is an older video, but if you are doing a full timing chain job, it seems to me it would be easier just to pull the camshafts out to change the followers rather to going through the whole spring compression routine. If you are only changing one follower, yeah, I see the spring compression method being the better choice. I love your videos and have helped me my F150 in tip top shape. Hopefully I would not have to do this job to it. Keep them coning.
When can i take cam shaft out? At tdc or after taking 3 out on each head
@@cesarmejia4751 following the timing job video you have to take 3 out each head, then the camshaft can move freely and the rollers are not putting pressure on any valves.
Thank you bro , did my first timing job on 2005 f150 on my stepdads truck thought the piston where going to hit everything worked out good 👍
Yes, u definitely don't want to pop those rollers out with anything else because you will bend a valve. Always use this tool to install the rollers. Good job!
Great video sir! By any chance, are u in the LA area so u can change my followers? My truck has been having that annoying clicking sound.
Love watching your video. They have helped me wint my 5.4 3 valve many times. Also like that you don't make us dizzy trying to work with one hand and video with the other. I do have a question, if you don't mind. Will that spring compressor work on the 2.3/2.5 dual plug heads as well? Thanks again for sharing
I have a 2010 Ford Explorer AWD with the 4.6 in it. It seems to have 3 distinct issues. The first issue is when accelerating smoothly up to highway speed the truck can begin to shudder quite violently until I apply more throttle as if to pass. Second issue the brakes when braking normally the truck can pull very hard generally to the right in both forward and reverse. I recently had both upper control arm replaced followed up with an alignment and since then I hear a lot of metal on metal while turning left.
You can change these roller followers in a parking garage on a vacation. I know this for a fact.
If the roller followers have such a small hole now compared to the original ones, would that be a good argument on keeping using the 5W20 oil rather than switching to 5W30 again because of the small holes in the revised lash adjusters?
5w-30 is just fine trust me.
@@FordTechMakuloco the high pressure oil pump still the recommended one too? Given this redesign
These videos are the best available for Ford modular V8 engines. I have the tick sound from the roller followers, gonna change them. Should I do a whole timing kit with upgraded oil pump? Have about a 130k miles on this motor. Thanks for your great work!
I didn’t really have to do my timing till about 350K on my 2014 Expedition. For now I would just replace any loose/jiggly roller followers at this point.
Thanks for the video Makuloko although one things you mentioned on the new rollerfollower you installed that the hole in the roller follower was bigger on the old one than the new.Wouldnt it be better if the hole was bigger in the new one so oil passage could flow easier and if so why install the one that has a smaller hole.
What’re the cons of just removing the cam ? Love your videos btw. I’m a ford dealership tech of 3 years and finally getting into engine work
Uneven pressure on cam
@@FordTechMakuloco how do you know if you have uneven pressure on camshaft? What do you recommend if there is?
@@littlemirage If the roller followers are installed in the cylinder head and you start loosening the camshaft caps, you will put uneven pressure/stress on the camshaft.
Imaging holding a small twig at one end. Now touch the other end to the ground and begin to press the end on the ground. The twig will begin to bend and eventually snap somewhere in the middle. Hope that analogy helps.
@@5rand0n7 Why can't I just loosen each cap screw a coupe times in sequence? Would be silly to remove each cap in order as that would stress the cam.
Is that enough room to remove the hydraulic lash adjuster with that tool in the way
You probably already figured this out but the lash adjusters can not be removed without removing the cam shafts.
@@neptune4167 why do you need to remove the cam? They aren't under the cam.
@@chriscall3425 Lash adjusters are under the roller followers which are under the cam. You can remove the roller followers without removing the cam but the lash adjusters do not have the clearance to be removed without removing the cam. So, they ARE under the cam.
Good info Brian. With 170,000 miles on mine, I'll soon be doing the Phasers, chains, chain guides, plugs(ugh), exhaust studs. This looks like a great time to do the roller followers too.
+009to090 Don't forget lash adjusters!!
Absolutely! I just forgot to list them here , Thanks again.
I also forgot to list Chain Tensioners.
Awesome vid 💯👍👍, love the detail explanation. This helps me alot. ✌️
Ford needs to bring back the Windsor.
These ohc engines look like a lot of expensive repairs.
MyassesDragon the parts are actually relatively cheap labor cost at up if you're doing it yourself
And many of these motors came from the Windsor plant. So at least those could be called windsors no? Lol
Didn't know there was a tool for that. I made my own, it works great :) Ford did a real poor job designing that engine!
First of all love your videos.
I have a 2003 ford f150 4.6 2v I just bought. On a cold start it lightly knocks for a few minutes then completely goes away. If you had a guess what would you think. I greatly appreciate your advised thanks.
FTM made me feel confident enough to tear my 05 150 down for full timing, phasers, oil/water pumps, new roller followers. Popped the V Cover and found D side (Bank 2?) Phaser looked like it had exploded. Pass side tensioner completely blown. Yet never had a worry bc I knew my man here would guide me through.
You're a great teacher. Thanks for the awesome channel.
This guy could open a Ford engine school! I’d go.
I'm watching this video again before doing it myself. I Want to change the lash adjusters and roller followers on my mustang gt I with the 4.6l 3 valve engine. Could I use this procedure to remove all the followers and lash adjusters and replace them individually? Or do I need to raise the camshaft to replace the lash adjusters. Thanks you so much for sharing your knowledge I have so many of your videos on my Playlist.
Thanks for all the help you giving me through the years. I have an issue and need your assistance please. ,2001 F150 5.4 2v. Full rebuild I have one roller follower the keeps slipping off when truck is turned on.. Valve is up, keeper is on, new lifter (s) , new roller follower (s) please help.
I got a set of these ford rockers and on some of them the hole isn't all the way through.. I checked by trying to shine a light through and push a pin needle in.. It just doesn't work... i am glad i noticed this before installing them all... could have burnt up another rocker and cam lobe.
Thanks to you i managed to get my timing done on my 13 expedition! I did have a big question though in regards to oil pressure. Where you talk about the hole in the new roller followers, and how it differs from the original, how much of a difference would it make? Reason i ask is, after flipping through tons of forums and comments i ended up going with the melling m340hv pump, given at the time of install it was closing in on 200k and all sources i was reading were saying how much more benefit the higher volume would be. Now that ill be going back in to get these adjusters and arms done, i want to make sure that increased pressure wouldnt cause more harm than good. Thanks for all you do!
Looks like a very good but tedious procedure was wondering could you take the camshaft off and then just remove all the roller followers one after the other? What would a full timing job involve? I know this guy is the man when it comes to Fords there is no better !every one of his videos is right on point I’ve used a few of them to work on the IEW four-wheel air vacuum system thanks to his videos I was able to straighten it out finding out that the tubes had fallen apart and disintegrated as well as his videos on changing the CV axle excellent instructions and details I’ve done things on my truck that I don’t even wanna know about this point thanks to his videos! “He Is the man!”
Make you loco" thats funny thanks for posting these ford videos. Rn felt like it was tech support
The 4.6L 3V engine in my '06 Stang has developed a tick which has gotten louder over time. I put a stethoscope on the valve covers, but that didn't seem to reveal much. I'm suspecting either a follower or lash adjuster. Another issue I'm experiencing is increased oil consumption so I'm suspecting either guides or seals. At this point I'm wondering if I should just bite the bullet and spring for reconditioned heads.
Just an update on My Expedition in the video just hit 220 k no issues runs like new I keep it maintained and use 5w30. Thanks Brian
👍👍I have an 04 F-150 5.4 192K only use Mobile1 5W-20 still running good
Purchased the tools you recommend from Amazon. I also bought the hydraulic lifters. Are they a simple "drop in " replacement? Thank you for your help.
Thanks for everything Brian, when reinstalling I should just start with all of the lobes at base circle 6 o’clock on the crank hub then rotate to the next group? No issues with piston position and fully opened valves?
I am going to do a timing change replacement along with cam phase sensors sprocket changes, etc. How do you know when the roller followers need to be changed? I have 305,000 miles on my truck w/ original timing chain, etc. I am also doing the Meling oil pump per your recommendation. Now the roller followers? How bad, and what tollerances before we change them?
Great Video, Any idea how to check which one failed without removing them?
The part number for the roller follower that you provided, Amazon's parts check say's it will not work on my 09 5.4 f150 platinum. Any advice that you can give. Your video's is very educational and I do appreciate them very muc.
New goto channel. Here in Aus you talk Mods and it's crickets.
looking to buy a 2004 f150 step side. what things should I look for before purchasing it. it has 163k miles? great videos
Hello I watched part 1-4 for the 5.4 3v timing chain replacement now for the roller followers can I use after market and if yes do you recommend any brand
I have a 2002 F150 5.4 L. Do I need to remove the fuel rail, ignition coil packs and spark plugs? Thanks again for a detailed video.
Thanks for your video's helped me greatly, I am having trouble with my exhaust roller follower tool upon the spark plug side can't make good contact with the valve spring, any advice would be greatly appreciated can't come to you I am stuck in new york
Great Vid!!! I now can remove and install Roller Followers. However I have I that I can not get to budge!! Any Ideals?? Please help!!! I'm following your 4pt Timing Chain kit replacement!!!
Great video. When I started this process I discovered both of my cams have chewed up bearings. Is there any way to resurface these without removing and machining the engine?
Do you have a video on how to remove the exhaust valve? And the lash adjuster? I looked through your videos and didn't see one. I may have missed it, though.
Awesome Video @fordtechmakuloco!!! I'm about to do the complete timing. And installing new Roller Followers, Camshaft and lash adjusters. I saw somewhere where you need to prime the lash adjusters. Are you familiar with that??
If you are changing any worn followers, should you replace all on the side with the replacement seeing how the oil feed hole is different?
Would the clicking be roller followers if my engine is a 5.4 2 valve and if so do you have a video for that job? Thank you in advance.
Thanks for your step by step videos. It's making this nightmare experience much easier and I'm almost done.
Question: Anything special to replace the Lash Adjusters? Just grab the nipple end with pliers and pull out? Love your Channel and all your help!
I'm sure you've figured it out already. I've simply reached in and pulled them out with my fingers.
I can understand your video,s the attention to detail is perfect, I need your opinion about my truck problems. I just posted the issues, I would greatly appreciate your response, I'm at my Witt's end and can't afford a shop.
