[QUOTE="Dean Hedin, post: 1025047, member: 57230"] The shop may think they have to cut the bolts. But if they do not heat them with a propane torch for 30-45 seconds to loosen the Ford thread lock then they will never get them bolts loose. I just did this job myself a few weeks ago. I had one bolt in the back that I heated up, and I was taking my time with the ratchet. It froze up again and I thought I would have to cut the bolt. Heated it again with the torch and it loosen up. So if you have not yet done so..tell the shop to heat'em up from below... [/QUOTE]
