[QUOTE="Igor Smetaniuk, post: 1018731, member: 69592"] @jeffksf Glad you saw this so you can buy enough beers for this job - just in case your in it for the long haul. Hate to discourage you but it's always a chore when working on 13 year old vehicles. I used a nice sharp chisel and cut into it really nicely without much effort. I guess you could use pliers. I just wanted to do it with control so I wouldn't get alot of plastic down the coolant intake. The Housing is pretty brittle and comes apart quickly. Don't bother spraying it with penetrant because there is no way it's going to get to those threads. If you have time, you may want to get those new bolts from Ford to make re-assembly easier. See photos for Part# Good luck and let us know how many beers & muthaf**kas it took ya. [/QUOTE]
