Haynes are almost worthless. They will spend two pages telling you to make sure to set the parking brake, disconecct the battery, chock the wheels, wear safety goggles, etc. and then say, remove the engine. Reinstallation is the reverse of removal. Actually, they wouldn't say that, because anything harder than changing the oil, they tell you to take it to an authorized repair center. Get the shop manual if you plan on doing real work on the car. Pretty much everything in the Haynes manual is maintainence and you can find that on the web.

I used to use Haynes, until they had me torque my rockers down way way too tight and ended up bending some lifter rods....yeah that sucked.....


My Helm manual will be here in a day or so....I say go with that...only $151.95 with shipping and it is the same manual that the guys at Ford use.....

ORIGINAL: 22kart22

why buy a manual when you have us here? lol
a) I like books....
b) I can take the manual into the garage and if it gets dirty no big deal...the laptop well...BIG DEAL!!!!
c) The right person is not always online and available
d) I support American jobs by buying a manual.....by always using the site...I support half drunken middle-aged men sitting in front of a computer with one page on **** and the other on this site...and i don't even want to know where the hand that is not on the mouse is
