How am I suppose to even access the lower bolt for this fuel pump? I cant seem to get a socket to touch it at all. Between the coolant line, the oil pressure sending unit, itself, I want to strangle someone.

Use a 13mm gear wrench. Removing the oil pressure switch can help.

That worked pretty well, didn't see that route as an option. Also noted a swivel socket (after the fact) worked decent too.

Welcome to working on Fords. Wanting to strangle someone is a pre-requisite.
Well aware after working on a 5.4 F150 and a 6.0 F250, I thought the older stuff would be less aggravating. lol

Use a 13mm gear wrench. Removing the oil pressure switch can help.
To be honest, I couldn't even find a nice way to remove the damn switch either. I hope I don't have to do that one.
