Engine - Body Off: Removal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Ford Pickup, 2011 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2011 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2011 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Change the engine oil any time the turbocharger is removed from the engine. The passages in the block, located underneath the turbocharger, are direct passages to the lubrication system. Debris and/or coolant may enter the lubrication system and engine damage may occur.
NOTE: It is recommended that this component be serviced with the vehicle body removed. Refer to BODY -- DIESEL . If the body cannot be removed, refer to ENGINE - BODY ON  in this service information.
NOTE: During the repair or installation of fuel-related components, cap, tape or otherwise appropriately protect all fuel openings to prevent the ingress of dirt or other contamination. Remove caps, tape and other protective materials prior to installation.
  1. Remove the body. For additional information, refer to FULL FRAME & BODY MOUNTING -- F250-F550 SUPER DUTY article .
  2. WARNING: Do not work on the fuel system until the pressure has been released and the engine has cooled. Fuel in the high-pressure fuel system is hot and under very high pressure. High-pressure fuel may cause cuts and contact with hot fuel may cause burns. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
  3. Release the fuel system pressure. For additional information, refer to FUEL SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION - GASOLINE AND DIESEL article.
  4. Mark the location of the tires on the floor prior to rolling out the chassis. Roll the chassis out from under the body.
  5. NOTE: Failure to replace the transmission support insulator nuts may result in transmission support insulator damage.
    NOTE: If the transmission support insulator stud loosens when the transmission support insulator nut is removed, the stud must be discarded and a new stud installed.
