Without looking at a book, generally it is easiest to remove the front bumper assembly first, then the hood, and go from there. If you are changing panels, look at the replacement panel for the attachment points first. You should at least use 2 people for the hood/bumper removal. Hope this helps.

Not sure what you can find, but you might want to try your local Ford dealer and see if they actually have a book for that sort of stuff.
My 2001 service manual CD has procedures to remove all the body panels.
Maybe try eBay for a service manual CD for your year.

Bedford Public Library -- AARC Go here and the user name is "library" and so is the password. It will get you into maint manuals and electrical schematics for many different makes/models and years!

Thanks Bud, I keep forgetting about the library thing.
My own local library uses the EXACT same system for auto repair manuals. Gotta love it!
I would suggest, however, that anyone doing this go through their own local library.
Around here, we pay over $100/year just for library taxes. I plan on using that for everything it's worth
