  Q: How to Service and Repair a Seat Cover for the Second Row, 60 Percent Freestyle on Ford Freestyle?

  A: Before servicing the seat cushion cover of second row 60 percent Freestyle one must fold the seat into the E-Z entry position. The service requires releasing three sets of cushion trim cover J-clips from under the seat plus releasing the J-clip at the back between cushion foam pad and cushion frame. To proceed with the replacement look for the J-clip at the cushion frame right side then remove the outboard retainer of the trim cover by pulling it past the riser and the cushion frame. Satisfactory installment begins with lowering the second row 60 percent seat before removing the cushion trim cover from the cushion foam pad. Recovery of the new cover happens by following the reverse steps of removal.

  Q: How to service the radiator grille on Ford Freestyle?

  A: A proper radiator grille servicing requires first opening the hood and removing the four scrivets followed by the two upper bolts then tightening them to 6 Nm (53 lb-in) torque during installation. You must first remove the two radiator grille screws together with the two hood bumpers to separate the radiator grille completely. You need to detach the radiator grille by pulling it upward after releasing the four tabs which retain the bumper cover. The installation process should be performed in the exact opposite order of removal.

  Q: How to service and repair the upper intake manifold on Ford Freestyle?

  A: The upper intake servicing process starts by draining the fluid from the cooling system and disconnecting the battery ground cable. Proceed with the service by first removing the air cleaner outlet pipe followed by the four transaxle roll restrictor cross brace bolts which then allows removal of the cross brace. The service requires you to disconnect the evaporative emissions (EVAP) canister purge valve tube from the upper intake manifold while detaching the retainer and disconnecting the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) along with its brake booster and vacuum harness tubes. The technician should detach the fuel tube retainer and disconnect the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system module electrical connector together with the vacuum tube which also requires removal from the upper intake manifold vacuum tube retainer. The procedure for early builds consists of plugging the throttle body along with both the PCV coolant hoses whereas late builds require plugging both PCV coolant hoses. First detach the throttle body electrical connector before removing and discarding any four upper-to-lower intake manifold screws installed when present. Next, install the eight bolts along the upper intake manifold after discarding the gaskets. After cleansing all sealing surfaces install the upper intake manifold and bolt it into place with eight bolts to be tightened to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.) following the specified installation order. To reconnect the electrical throttle body install the throttle body connector while late builds require linking the two PCV coolant hoses although early builds need tubing connections between throttle body and PCV coolant. Install the EGR system module tube onto the EGR system module while applying 40 Nm (30 ft. lbs.) torque and join the vacuum tube to its upper intake manifold tube retainer. Connect the electrical connector of the EGR system module with a vacuum tube while you secure the fuel tube retainer and join the PCV and brake booster and vacuum harness tubes to the upper intake manifold. Fasten the EVAP canister purge valve tube before installing its retainer. Apply new thread-lock to the bolts after brushing them with a wire brush then install the transaxle roll restrictor cross brace before tightening these bolts to 55 Nm (41 ft. lbs.). New threadlock goes on the transaxle roll restrictor cross brace-to-roll restrictor bolt before installing a new bolt that should be torqued to 48 Nm (35 ft. lbs.). The last step includes reconnecting the battery ground cable then installing the air cleaner outlet pipe and finally performing the cooling system fill and bleed operations.
• Bumper Cover, Rear Upper

  Q: How to ensure proper servicing of the bumper on a Ford Freestyle?

  A: Service of Freestyle rear bumper cover begins by removing its rear quarter panel mouldings as well as rear lamps before moving forward. Cut off the electrical connector on the parking aide system before proceeding to remove the cover. The first step to access the Freestyle rear bumper cover involves removing five rear bumper cover scrivets along with two rear bumper cover pin-type retainers. When removing the rear bumper cover you should raise it gently to break its seal from the body near the front outboard area. Check the mounting reinforcements for damage after bumper cover removal because replacements may be needed for any detected damage. Climaxing the repair process requires executing the opposite sequence of removal procedures.
