2007 Ford Edge Camshaft Parts Q&A

• Q: How to remove and replace the camshaft on 2007 Ford Edge?

  A: Start by installing tie-rod ends along with nuts at 48 Nm (35 ft. lbs) then fasten them with new cotter pins. Escalation of the intermediate shaft rotation without the gear connection poses dangers to the Clock Spring thus requiring removal and recentering procedures. Fit the intermediate shaft onto the steering gear using a new bolt and apply torque to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs). The PSP tube installation requires a new banjo bolt together with two new seals before tightening it to 35 Nm (26 ft. lbs). Fasten the engine roll restrictor-to-subframe through bolt to 103 Nm (76 ft. lbs) before installing the roll restrictor heat shield and two nuts which should be tightened to 11 Nm (8 ft. lbs). The successful installation requires a new RH front halfshaft nut which should be tightened to 350 Nm (258 ft. lbs) after applying the brake to prevent halfshaft rotation. Install four bolts onto the PTU flange by aligning its index marks to the rear driveshaft and tighten all bolts to 70 Nm (52 ft. lbs). Attach the power steering cooler bracket bolt on the RH subframe side while torquing it to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs) before connecting the power steering cooler hose. Before installing a new engine oil filter apply engine oil to the gasket and tighten it to 5 Nm (44 inch lbs) then continue tightening an extra 180 degrees. Both transmission fluid cooler tubes need to connect with each other while the two secondary latches should install onto the transmission fluid cooler tubes. You should place a splash shield onto each side of the unit while securing it with distinctive pin-type retainer and seven screws. The Y-pipe assembly with exhaust flexible pipe requires a new gasket and four new nuts for tightening it to 40 Nm (30 ft. lbs) before installing exhaust hangers during which the exhaust clamp needs to be tightened to additional 40 Nm (30 ft. lbs). Screw the ground wire with a nut alongside the radio interference capacitor wire onto the engine front cover stud before locking it to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs). Then position the ground wire and bolt onto the engine front cover while tightening them to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs). The wiring harness retainer should be fixed to the RH valve cover stud bolt followed by mounting the oil level indicator and connecting both engine wiring harness electrical connectors properly with the electrical connector attached to the LH valve cover. Use the fuel hose routing clip to fasten the transaxle stud and the fuel supply tube. The hose installation process requires attachment to both the power steering reservoir and the A/C suction tube fitting with proper placement of the safety clip onto the A/C fitting. The new O-ring allows the A/C pressure tube fitting to connect with proper 6 Nm (53 inch lbs) torque. Append the engine block heater harness retention system to both the radiator support until the A/C suction tube. The control electrical connector must be connected followed by bracket attachment for the control cable and subsequent connection of the control cable to its control lever. The wiring harness retainer should be attached to the transaxle control cable bracket while the upper radiator hose and lower radiator hose and two heater hoses are connected to the thermostat housing. The purge valve receives its connection through the upper evaporative emissions (EVAP) tube quick connect coupling and the vacuum hose aligns with the upper intake manifold. Install the ground wire along with its bolt then secure it through 10 Nm (89 inch lbs) torque before fixing the two wiring harness retainers to the cowl area. Investigate and tighten the battery terminal power feed nut to 6 Nm (53 inch lbs) then join the battery harness electrical connector before placing the battery tray. Fasten the engine air cleaner while installing the air cleaner outlet pipe and then place the degas bottle into position. Place the accessory drive belt followed by the power steering belt and then proceed to oil the engine with clean fuel before filling the cooling system plumbing and power steering reservoir before performing an air conditioning system recondensing.
