Forgot to mention the new, cast steel Eagle crankshaft.

Yesterday was a waste. Went to change the crank position sensor on the 302 V8 and AWD modded 02 Sport Trac. Bottom bolt out OK. Top bolt, not s'OK. Corners rounded off. went and bought some extra special, guaranteed to grip whatever is left of the flanks sockets.

It gripped, and ripped more off. Grade 5 bolt and it peeled like chewing gum. How the heck did Ford get so much torque on a 1/4-20 bolt with a 5/16" head? I sprayed on some liquid wrench to soak overnight and tomorrow will try a Duralast Grip-Rite socket.

Replacement bolts will be grade 8 with 3/8" heads.
