Best auto mechanic video ever! Makes this long, complicated job look doable. Tips on removing and reinstalling the two coolant line fittings into the engine block would be welcomed.
Thanks for the comment. Overall, this was a challenging job but was necessary to be completed. I did not remove/replace the coolant fittings into the engine block but I would recommend a set of long picks (for the retainer clip) and a lot of patience.
Very concise and thorough video. For R&R of the turbo, I used a 1" ratchet strap to pull the exhaust pipe back and out of the way - it makes the process a bit easier.
Thanks for the comment and good luck with your repair. If you are doing both sides, you can watch that video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8rPmHF2VVmU.html
Coolant fittings were included in the Turbo Install Kit I bought us.bddiesel.com/products/exhaust-manifold-install-kit-ford-f-150-3-5l-ecoboost-2011-2016?variant=40928806994103 ... I am not sure what the exact part number is. I think this is the one but I am not 100% sure www.summitracing.com/parts/frd-bl3z-6a968-c?seid=srese1&ppckw=pmax-stock-replacement&gclid=Cj0KCQjws560BhCuARIsAHMqE0H0DkN1GHQl4SF9kiUMVXrKvmcUf_L5hCsyR3oW-agyZoicHMHcY4kaAj8ZEALw_wcB
