It took mt wife and I 1.5 hours from start to clutch laying on the floor. Thats gettin tools out and everything. The F04 service book is dead on. The trick like Zane was showing you is lifting the steering with dash and hood still on.
We used a tie down ratchet strap looped over the garage rafter. Then we just lifted enough for clearance. The getting it back together for me was simple. I did it alone BUT I have fought the hassles of lining engines back together befor. So on my tractor split I made sure I was parked on level concrete and I had two nice floor jacks.
Sweeping the floor clean and oil the wheels on the floor jacks first will help.If it wont slide together change the height of the jacks and just keep trying, Actually since you have the rear tires to roll it's a nice job. Ditch the clutch alignment tool and unbolt and use the shaft coming out of your trannsmission. You need to change this seal anyway. Trust this. Ask if not sure. I'm not telling you much that I have't leared on this website myself. Oh and don't forgit to hook up the oil pressure line before you start it. Big mess.
