Yeah, I should have planned for the worse and hoped for the best and bought one before I started.
Ended up bitching two. Both on the pass side, second from the front and of course the one at the back, it squeaked, pissed and moaned the whole way out and still seperated. Fack.
FYI: 2005 V10 w/140k

Update:
Got the tool this morning. $105
And the thing didn't work. It would not bite onto the sleeve. I kept reforming the threads with a diamond file and they just kept mashing.
Great concept, packaging, price... but the dia. of the first thread and lack of hardness of it, sucked.
Ended up using an easy out which bite immediately, and just kept turning 1/10th of a turn at a time with small but frequent shots of carb cleaner and WD till they both came out. Took about an hour or so per hole.
I then rigged up some small tubing on the end of a vaccum to remove all the crap from inside the cylinder.
So for having to take the day off work, cab to get the tool, buy the tool that didn't work and then do a "Super Man" off my junk from the grill all day, Thanks FORD.
