He is there now, with no tools to change them out. He's leaving for home tomorrow.

If worse comes to worse he'll have to find a Ford Garage or buy a cheap wrench set from Harbor Freight. LOL

Better to get it fixed before hitting the road and risk being stranded

I think he's going to start out with it then decide what to do. I told him yesterday that NAPA had the parts and Harbor Freight had the tools.

I didn't hear from him today. He may have fixed it today.
