[Shotimes] 60k reassembly questions.

[Steve Weinrich]

George,

FWIW, the service manual clearly gives the instructions on how to secure the
crank during disasembly and re-assembly.  There is a special tool,
#T74P-6375-A, Flywheel Holding Tool, that is specifically for this purpose.
The starter is removed and the tool is installed, engaging a pawl in the
teeth of the flywheel.

My guess is that most Ford dealerships never even knew this tool existed,
much less actually purchased one.

Steve
