Stator / TFI Replacement... Hard?
Hey guys, i've determined my the issues i'm having with my '95 F150 is due to a bad stator and/or TFI. This truck has 234k on the original pieces so i'm going to replace them anyway with new ones from the dealer.
My question is how hard is this? I saw one right up but it was on a V8. They had to yank the distributor out, drive out roll pins and pull the gear off and such. I'm leaving for a 10 day road trip to California in 2 days taking Route 66 in the middle of nowhere. I don't have time to mess with removing the distributor. I can take another car if I have to, but I REALLY want to be in my truck for that trip.
Anyone with a 300 replaced both pieces and was it hard?
I'm stuck here in the office and am dying to know the answer. Unfortunately I can't get out there right now with a screwdriver to poke around. Boss is still here... lol...
Thanks!

It is identical in principle to a V8. No it is not hard.
A reman distributor is only about $60 and requires nothing hard to install. You will still want a new TFI modual. The stator alone is $55 from napa. Your choice.
