Water Drain plug need help
Hi... first time posting in the 6.0 section... i really need some help...
i just bought this truck couple months ago... and ive been going around it doing all the maintenance stuff ive discovered hasnt been done in awhile... well heres where my problem is... apparently in some point in its history... one of the previous owners replaced the water drain/fuel pressure relief plug with a soft brass plug.. well ive been trying for the last 4 days to get this plug out.. and its fighting me at every stop...
the little nub in the center came right out...
but the outer plug... i cant get to budge at all...
tried the e-z out people suggested would work.. but hasnt come out.. and all i did was manage to bend the tool that holds onto the e-zout... and the wrenches just round off the corners on it...

The new manifold will not have the fuel heater that your 04 has. Seems there might be another harness for it, ( I don't recall for sure) or zip tie that plug up out of the way.
Ford did away with the fuel heater on later years.

Looks like they're going for a little over $100 now 6C3Z-9B249-B
Get that updated plug too.
You *can* take the cover off and see if you can remove the plug on the bench, worst case you have to get a new cover anyway.

If you enter it into Tousley's search engine as the "B" it comes up as old part# and then becomes "C".
