I hope i read this comment before I did my job. 2011 Merc Mariner. Yes I hammered the shaft seal with a socket and ...... broke it. Cheap Ford cut another $5 from cost. I hate to buy another plastic junk (9L8Z-6B293-A). Do you know the part # of the aluminum version of that retainer?
Thanks for saying that!! This is a waaay old video so I apologize for the terrible cinematography 😂. Good luck on your fix and if you have any questions along the way feel free to hit me up!!!
@@605BOLT do you know anything about the 6 speed automatic transmission? I need the internal output shaft sensor and can’t find anything on it anywhere. TIA
Thanks for the video man. I really like fords for the most part. But it’s problems like this that make me think some of these models were just made to sell more tools..
It’s a long shot that you’ll respond quick enough as I’m working on this right now. Did you just push the coolant tubing down? Mines right in the way of being able to pull the water pump pulley off.
Great video!!! Will be following this next week when I have all the parts. Quick question, if you happen to remember...how long did this take you? Is this a single afternoon? Seems like it, but not sure if you had to edit out hours of banging/cussing/throwing parts.
It's not a bad process if you gather all the stuff. I could tackle it in 4 hours or less now for sure. Takes a few minutes longer fumbling with cameras and whatnot. Glad you find the video useful!!! 👍👍
@@605BOLT So I ordered a valve cover gasket from Ford but it didn't come with vvt solenoid gasket or tube (spark plug) seals/gaskets. Did you replace them as well? I see Advance Auto's reviews on the part claim that the vvt seal is wrong with the kit and that I need to order a new complete valve cover which will have the seal already, but that seems extreme. Thoughts?
Good video! I may attempt this repair myself on my 08 fusion as mine has been leaking for several years, but appears to be getting worse. Could you provide details on that pulley puller you used? The auto shop said it’s like $1000 dollar puller, but there must be a much cheaper tool available online that will get the job done.
The puller for removing the pulley is a steering wheel puller similar to this. amzn.to/3OG4JVm Most parts stores have them to rent. Definitely not $1000. It's not a difficult job. Actually the part for pushing it back on I would say took a smidge more thinking and fiddling to get it going. If you have any questions, hit me up. 👍
@@geno3437 if you thread into the end of the camshaft sure. But pullers only pull. They can't push because they aren't mounted to the camshaft. You would need to thread into the end of the cam to push if that makes sense.
Looks like a job my 07 might need. So many things though, gaskets, the belt, I don't even have a torque wrench, all for that little leak by the pulley. Probably not even worth it for a 2007. But damm good video. I will add to Fusion playlist just in case.
Torque wrench probably isn't necessary if you have a good feel for working on cars. Just wanted to try and do this "by the book". Ya it's no big deal if it leaks a little but the car was pretty nice so I didn't want the smell for my wife at the time because that was it's only problem. One of my first videos so sorry it was boring and slow haha. If you break down and fix it, hope it goes easy for you. Thanks for the kind words. 🍻
I just used the same socket for replacing the pulley as I used to remove and replace the seal, put a hex head screw with a couple washers and screw the pulley on easy peasy, .
I appreciate you saying that. This was one of my first vids so it has bad lighting and audio and everything but hopefully it helped you out. Thanks for stopping by!
And I realize the video has only been up for less than two years but I filmed the video long before I started this channel. Hence the crappy production quality and lighting etc. 🤣
I just got it from the dealer I think. Maybe rock Auto or tasca parts. Been so long ago I don't remember and sadly I sold the car so the receipts probably went with it.
It's the belt that drives the water pump. I spose it would be called water pump belt or something like that. They're like 15 bucks. Not too expensive. 👍
Looks like the part number is 6E5Z-8620-CA or something similar. Listed on TascaParts for 19 bucks. Your local Ford dealership should be able to hook you up.
I think they just called it a camshaft seal. I bought the round one and skinny rubber mostly straight one as a kit I think. Been many years now though so I don't remember well.
@@chr1st1ann_45 if you get hung up don't be afraid to hit me up here. I don't have the car but this video was one of my first... So it isn't very good. sorry about that.
Thanks for your video. Don't know if this my problem with my 2007 ford fusion 111,000 miles but it gave me info to think about when I take it to someone to repair.!
If I remember correctly (this was a while ago now) I took the longest fully threaded bolt they had in that pitch and diameter and cut the head off of the bolt so it was effectively a piece of threaded rod them. 👍
@@605BOLT thank you for the tip this will help me out big time . Was getting frustrated looking online for ways to do it . But your video looked the easiest
Thats great!!! Appreciate your kind words. This is a super old video of mine so sorry about the poor quality haha. If you have any troubles/questions, hit me up for sure!
