Lincoln F8AZ-9424-BAA Manifold Hardware Kit

Relieve fuel system pressure, disconnect the battery cable, and detach the vacuum hose from the regulator. On 4.6L engines, remove the fuel rail bolts to access the regulator mounting bolts. Remove the regulator, replace its O-rings, lubricate them with oil before installation.

The lower intake manifold bolts and nuts should be loosened in 1/4-turn increments until they can be removed by hand.

To remove the intake manifold on the 1996 models, you should begin by relieving fuel system pressure, draining the cooling system, and disconnecting the negative battery cable.

Install the nine intake manifold bolts and tighten them to the torque following the correct tightening sequence.

Start by relieving fuel pressure, disconnecting the battery cable, and removing the air intake plenum assembly on 5.0L engines or the air intake assembly on 4.6L engines. Use a special spring lock coupling tool to disconnect the fuel feed and return lines from the fuel rail assembly. Remove the four fuel rail assembly retaining bolts and carefully disengage the fuel rail from the fuel injectors. The installation process is the reverse of removal.
