I dont know that theres a video, But I've pulled a few of these now, Its late so I may miss something but I'll try to give ya a rundown. Grab a can or two of PB blaster, You'll need it.
Disconnect battery, Get both ends of the truck in the air. You'll need the room. A transmission jack is recommended, But I used a big floor jack. (You may want a trans jack and a regular floor jack) Spray down all of the following bolts with the PB blaster --- 2 Studs on each exhaust manifold to Y-pipe flange, Joint behind rear cat to rear exhaust section, Crossmember bolts that you can get to, Transmission mount bolts, Bolts on heat shields that bolt to crossmember.
Remove front and rear driveshafts, disconnect shifter cable from lever on the side of the trans, unplug oxygen sensors, Disconnect electrical plug from transfer case, unplug all the sensors on the trans,( I have one out with the harness still attached if you'd like a pic to show all the sensors locations) On the top, passenger side of the transmission, there will be a bolt for the fuel line bracket. Up top, (and you can do this step before you put the truck in the air) The top two bell housing bolts are easier to get at with a wrench, as well as another fuel line bracket on the passenger top bell housing bolt. The other 4 should be fairly easy from the bottom, a swivel adapter may help.
Leave those 4 for last. Put the regular floor jack behind the crossmember from the passenger side, or pointing straight back, and just jack it up enough to take the weight off of the crossmember when you loosen the trans mount. Remove the mount bolts either from the transmission or from the crossmember, one of mine was seized to the crossmember so I took the mount loose from the trans, Either way will be fine. On the passenger side of the crossmember, theres a plastic shield on the back to protect the fuel filter with 2 small bolts/nuts, remove the cover to get access to a hidden crossmember bolt. Theres a few bolts on the heat shields that go to the crossmember, Then 8 bolts holding the crossmember to the frame. They are known to be corroded and break. I broke 5 on my donor truck, and thankfully none on my good truck. Lay the crossmember out of the way and remove the 2 bolts at the flange behind the rear catalytic converter, Then head to the front, and remove the 2 nuts on each exhaust manifold flange on each side. Be ready to catch your entire Y-pipe assembly. Disconnect the cooler lines from the passenger side.
Next remove your starter, Which will give you access to the torque converter to flywheel bolts. When turning the engine over to access the next bolt, always turn clockwise and if you go to far, just go to the next one. You dont want to turn this engine backwards as it could bind the timing chain or screw with the timing tensioners. (A bigger headache than your transmission troubles)
You should now be ready for your transmission jack ( or second floor jack) slow and patience is the key, this trans and transfer case assembly is big and heavy. Double check for any other bolts or wires, etc. Position your jack/s and hopefully chain or strap the trans to the main jack. Once secured, remove the last 4 bell housing bolts. Work the transmission back and over the front frame brace, With 2 jacks or with an actual transmission jack, you may not even have to worry about the front brace. Back and down and you should be good. If you couldnt get the truck high enough, You may have to set the transmission off of the jacks and drag it out... which, like I said, Its big and heavy. Bigger than I expected for a midsize V6 truck.
If you're doing the rebuild, Next step will be removing the transfer case from the trans. Or you could have chosen to do that early on after removing the driveshafts. Which ever way you choose is ok. I removed mine as a complete unit as the trans was bad, and it was an All Wheel Drive transfer case thats condition was unknown, and Im converting to 4WD Like what my and your Explorer has.
If anything is unclear or you have questions, feel free to ask. I usually dont make it on here till late at night but will do my best to answer what I can.
