I'm guessing yes but dont remember seeing it when I pulled it off (was in a hurry to get the turbo to the shop though) and cant find the old one anywhere.

Called ford and they said it didnt need one. Seems strange to me but oh well. Hopefully it's ok because I dont want to have to give them another $48 for studs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skids4kids in the mid....not the bum like some Member 609 Member For: 10y 11m 27d Gender: Male Posted 03/08/13 01:41 PM Share Posted 03/08/13 01:41 PM Had a go at this myself this weekend and was a easy process that only took 6 hours or so with R&R of turbo and a few breaks. Has a obvious crack but that's no biggie and will be addressed in due course.Just used a Dremel/snake adaptor along with appropriate cutting/smoothing tools.
