How do you change a Ford F-150 transsmission?
Its a pain. You first have to drop the torsion bars under the
truck. Then get a pulley puller and push the torsion bars back up
to remove the metal pieces holding the torsion bars in. Remove the
puller and take the torsion bars off. You will then need to remove
the bracket holding the torsion bars. ONce that is done, you will
have enough clearance to drop the tranny. The hard part is getting
the torsion bars back on. Come to think of it, I think you can buy
a tool from Ford to pull the torsion bars off. It pretty expensive
that why I use a pully puller. Not all F-150s have torsion bars.
Buy a Chilton Repair Manual for your correct year. It'll tell you
everything step by step.

First jack the truck up and put a jack stand under the frame,
MAKE IT SAFE now Loosen the torsion bar adjusting bolt all the way
with out removing the bolt completely. be sure you count the turns
you take on the bolt, and record it. You will need info later. Now
remove wheel and put a floor jack under the lower control arm close
to the ball joint. Now take the nut off the lower ball joint, Now
raise the hub assy. and rotor up and off the lower ball joint and
wedge a block of wood in some were to hold it in place, out of the
way. You will have to remove bottom bolt in the shock. Now remove
the torsion bar adjusting bolt, and count the rest of the turns it
takes to remove the bolt and add that to your first count, and
record it. When putting bolt back in later, TURN BOLT SAME # OF
TURNS BACK IN THAT YOU RECORDED EARLYER Now remove lower control
arm bolts and mark the torsion bar were it goes into the lower
control arm, remove control arm and torsion bar at the same time as
a unit. Lay on floor and slide bar out.

How do you replace VW Bug torsion bar system?
Your best bet would be to purchase a Haynes manual. Remember...
safety first!
Jist: disconnect brake lines,remove hub cap , loosen lug nuts,
remove cotter pin and 36 mm, jack up car and secure on jack stands,
remove wheel, remove drum brake, remove emergency brake cable,
remove the clip holding brakeline and disconnect brakeline from the
trailing arm.
remove lower shock mount, notch the trailing arm and spring bar
to ease realignment, remove driveshaft.
remove 17 mm Allen nut on trailing arm and the three bolts
holding trailing arm to torsion arm... remove trailing arm.
Put a jack under the torsion arm and jack it up until the arm
lifts slightly off of the stops. Remove the four bolts and the
torsion plate, remove the outter bushing.
IMPORTANT: (do at your own risk) do not get any part of your
body underneath the torsion bar while in this position... you could
get hurt.
With a prybar, pry the torsion arm past the stops and slowly
lower your jack. Once the torsion arm is under no stress, use an
angle finder to find the angle (will help with reassembly). Remove
the torsion arm and inner bushing. Remove the torsion bar.
Assemble... in reverse probably... haven't done it yet. Hope
this helps.

Location of 1995 Ford Explorer 4 WD Control module?
As far as I know , the 1995 Ford Explorer doesn't have a
SEPARATE module for the 4
WD . That is also handled by the GEM ( Generic Electronic Module
) and I believe that is
in the center stack of the dash and that you have to remove the
radio to actually
change it
