drewtiss Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Whew! That was a long detailed tutorial. I try attempting this stuff but I am having my hard time removing my air cleaner housing from the rubber bushing. Eventually I gave up. Thanks, anyway! __________________________________________________ Powered by Autopartswarehouse.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark33563 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Thanks for the writers, mintalkin. I was just given a 2003 Focus wagon that the timing belt blew apart in. I was told that the engine needed to be replaced as the belt damaged the engine. Not sure how true that is but tearing into the engine will let me know. Worse case, yank the engine and replace. again, thanks for the write up. -Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
