Hi guys. I'm actually working on a Sport Trac, but looking at various Sport Trac forums, it seems like the guys aren't too savvy. Anyhow. I replaced the thermostat housing on the engine, and when I was trying to get the upper radiator hos on, there wasn't enough room between the thermostat housing radiator hose inlet and the intake manifold to actually get the hose on, so I was trying to see if maybe the thermostat housing wasn't all the way bolted down on the engine, and broke one of the bolts off. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to how I can get the bolt out without having to take the intake manifold off? If not, how do I take the intake manifold off? Every youtube video I have seen that describes it has a different intake manifold that has these weird pipe looking parts coming out the sides and wrapping around to the back. Mine looks like a very tall supercharger if that makes sense... I appreciate any help I can get. Mike
