What would be needed to:
Replace pedistal o-rings
Service HPOP (o-rings, gaskets, etc)
Tools needed, etc.
I read that the HPOP end plug needs a 18mm wrench and there is another plug that takes a #30 torque head.

Using this forum in the past I was able to replace my glow plugs with no problem despite not having a clue before I posted my upcoming project. I did not know a ding-dang thing about needing a deep-well 10mm socket, a length of vacuum tubing, etc.
So with some insight, coffee, a few curse words here and there and a lot time, anything can be done.

Thanks

The pedestal Orings are not too bad. If you changed out the glow plugs then you shouldn't have a problem pulling the turbo and the turbo pedestal. The Orings on the HPOP lines are not too bad. If you pull some of the fittings off (that go into the heads) you will see the Orings. You need to make sure you get the ones from FORD... Again if you did the glow plugs these won't be too difficult...
