Hey guys, I'm new here. I actually do not have a ford explorer, but I will be pulling 2 ford 8.8 center sections out of 2 explorers from the salvage yard. I will be using one for my turbo v8 swapped 1977 Datsun 280z and one for my cts-v. My question is what tools will I need to remove these irs 8.8 pumpkins out of the explorers/mountaineers? I have searched and searched, but have only found how to remove the solid axle 8.8's out of mustangs. Thanks in advance!
 






12pt 12mm for the driveshaft, good prybar for the cv axles and then general socket set for the rest. I think the front bolts are either 13mm or 15mm and the back bolts are in the 18-21mm range.
