I did the front guide block+ tensioner but I'm hearing a slap on the same bank as yours. However this gives me hope since I thought about tackling this in the same way. (or paying someone else to do it).
FELIPE VALLES I’m very confident in the way this guy approached this project. The least ford should’ve done was make an access hole on the bellhousing to reach the cassette bolt. They didn’t, so you have to remove 20 extra bolts.
I wanted to add that most vids online show removing the engine, alot of work and not everyone has a garage. Just know that my next vehicle will have (one not three chains) an easily accessible timing belt.
ChaconMusic This video is the Explorer I repaired with the rear timing chain guild. Yes 4x4 it is. Copy and paste the link or find it in my other videos a white explorer all cleaned up. I ended up selling it to my neighbor. He really liked it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IQBWv0vI25Y.html
ChaconMusic No I did drain the transmission. I lost about 1/2 quart when I removed the transmission coolant lines. Never refilled the transmission and it worked fine when driven daily.
