Q: How to Properly Handle the Rear Crossmember for Transmission Support in a Ford Explorer?
A: Approach the service of the transmission support crossmember by hoisting the vehicle into neutral position. Disassemble the four bolts holding the transfer case skid plate in place and remove the skid plate before returning it back with 15 Nm (11 lb-ft) torque. The first step requires you to remove the right heat shield bolt before tightening it to 18 Nm (13 lb-ft) during installation then performing the same procedure with the left heat shield bolt. You should support the transmission with an appropriate jack then take off the two transmission mount nuts before securing them with a torque of 90 Nm (66 lb-ft). The installation process requires torqueing the six lower bolts of the transmission crossmember to 80 Nm (59 lb-ft) after installing. When reinstalling the crossmember transmission remove two bolts and upper nuts then secure them at 143 Nm (105 lb-ft). To complete the task reinstall the transmission crossmember by following the reversal of removal steps.
Q: How is the Rear Crossmember Serviced on Ford Focus?
A: Service the rear cross-member only after you remove both rear springs and both rear lower control arms and the stabilizer bar. When installing the new bolts for the front lower arm inboard it is essential to tighten them to 115 Nm (85 ft. lbs.). When operating on the upper arm inboard bolts discard them and tighten new bolts to 115 Nm (85 ft. lbs.) while installing. You should apply either a tie strap to the wheel knuckle and trailing arm combination or select an appropriate holding device while supporting the exhaust system with a jack stand. Place the exhaust system on a suitable jack while you detach it from the crossmember exhaust hanger isolator. Replace the six crossmember bolts with new ones which you should tighten to 103 Nm (76 ft. lbs.) after positioning them correctly. Use the jack to lower it until you can remove the crossmember before performing the installation which requires following the previous removal steps in reverse order. Perform the required check and adjustment of rear toe before concluding the process.
Q: How to Service the Rear Crossmember for Transmission Support on Ford Ranger?
A: Service operations on the transmission support crossmember start by positioning a hoisted vehicle into NEUTRAL mode. Start the process by taking off the two transmission mount nuts from the transmission support crossmember then discard them. The crossmember nuts need to be tightened to 90 Nm during reinstallation. A proper jack should be used to sustain the transmission when servicing it because free suspension is dangerous. The procedure for removing and installing the transmission support crossmember starts by removing its two opposing horizontal bolts and nuts then tightening the new ones to 127 Nm (94 lb-ft) torque. First remove the four vertical bolts together with nuts situated on each side then install new fasteners before securing them at 99 Nm (73 lb-ft) torque. The transmission support crossmember needs removal before installing it back in position using the inverse steps of removal.
