Im changing mine out this weekend. Once again I work at the local ford dealership, so I read what the book says....
Loosen bolts, Use a floor Jack and block of wood under oil pan, remove fan shroud, raise engine approx. 2 inches, remove mounts and reinstall new ones.

They however dont account for the headers being in the way. Does anybody have better instructions than the company that makes the frickin car.:SNSign:

I have to believe that you have at least one "super wrench" working the back room that can change them out in their sleep that will help you

Rocking the engine from side to side (with the jack) and doing one at a time is how I've done it. No need to remove anything else, but you might have to pop the headers off if they are a problem.

I know, and I have help...I just wanted to make sure. Sometimes our workshop manuals are a bit shady on how the say things. ANd there was only 3 lines of procedure.

Im used to the 6.0L diesel where a 10mm and a prybar tear it all the way down!

I end up removing the oil filter and undoing starter wiring.
