Re: Getting ready to replace GPs

GP's will be easy because you do not have a turbo in the way. I think Zigster wrote a really good article too. This one was in the FAQ's

http://www.thedieselstop.com/content...%20Replacement

Important to blow away the loose dirt and grime from each hole prior to removal. Do one at a time, post questions as you run into difficulty, don't force anything. Haynes, Chilton (that is the one that I have) or the Ford shop manual (best and most $$$) are excellent help for most repairs, but I don't think there is much about GP removal or install.

Go easy on the GP wires, they are metal connectors with plastic coverings, as they age the plastic gets brittle, but they still work fine.

Others will chime in about turning over the engine, I didn't choose to do that.
