Water separator valve replacement
At 92 years old I just relaced the water separator valve on my 2002 7.3 Excursion
This was, I believe, the hardest thing I have ever done on any vehicle and this is coming from a former auto repair shop owner!, I am sore all over.
Getting access to almost everything involved was made near impossible by Ford's placement of wire harnesses and everywhere I wanted to put my arm for support there was some thing projecting.
I wonder what a Ford dealer would charge for that valve replacement. Closest number I got was $150.00 to diagnose and tell me what I already knew, that it was leaking at the O'rings.

You have my respect!! Yes the ford engineer who designs these trucks was laughing when he said yes that part goes there and this part goes in there with little access 🤣🤣 I'm a 6'4" 265lbs man with sasquatch hands so supporting myself to not land on my face is hard to do
