if you are nice enough to the ford techs at the dealer, they can print the repairs for you. but i also purchased the factory repair manuals on dvd on ebay. these are slightly outdated (2005) but they also have this repair on them. the older repair just doesnt state that the phaser can be removed this way. It just says the cam can be done this way using the wedge. The procedure is the same for replacing cams and replacing cam phasers, just dont remove the cam bearing caps, and lock the cam down so that it doesnt jump timing, and mark everything. then unbolt the phaser(cam sprocket) and replace with the updated part. I will take some pics when i do the repair. I am very confident, after talking to the techs that this repiar is simple, as long as you have that timing wedge, mechanical knowlege, and patience.
