Ok I got a manual and have been trying for hours to get the darn fan
off. what is the trick? the motor turns pretty freely, i am now
thinking that the car jumped time back and forth, but I just want to
get it apart for visual inspection, but man o man it won’t budge

Not possible. Had to remove fan bolts and cut shroud. What a piece of
@#$#. How can they give you a torque value on the fan clutch extension
when the shaft is on bearings and the belt cant hold it tight enough
to break it free or torque it during assemply. I smell special spanner
tool that uses 2 of the pully bolts?

Now I am trying to get the valve covers off, but the bolts on the end
are really hard to get to. The manual I got off of ebay is on CD and I
am beginning to thing it is not from ford, they couldn’t have such
crappy manuals. Is there a trick, like unbolting motor mounts and
sliding motor forward? or something to allow access to bolts?
