- 2005 Ford Explorer XLT
I am working on my 2005 Ford Explorer XLT to change the fuel pressure and temperature sensor which is under the upper half of the intake manifold.
Based on what I have discovered, there are 8 total T30 Torx head bolts securing the upper half of the intake manifold.
I managed to get off 6 of them easily.
Leaving 2 of them still, which got stripped.
One of them I was able to get out with a screw extractor...
The last one (#8) is the one in the very back near the firewall.
I think I gave it too strong of a crank and I must have not been perfectly centered on it.
I don't know my options, because there is much less room to work with than the other one that was stripped.
Suggestions?
