Well, I got the deck lid open. A three person operation. My wife was in the car with the eng running pulling the switch (hoping for some asst from the pump . . . . NOT!!)
My son & I SLOWLY raised the lid, til they both could hold it & I could pull the cotter pins & discon those cyls. What an operation. WHAT was Ford thinking? I could just see a woman back in the 60's fighting this. Or Mr Howell from Gilligans Isl trying to get his golf clubs out of the trunk ("Lovey! It won't open!!").
The cyls are puking brake fluid.
The electrical seems fine. The locks un-screw. Once the lid was up all the way, the tray flipped. I was hoping the top would move, but no. The motor is toast. No big surprise.
At least I have one. An NOS in the Ford box.
So get cyls re-done & hopefully it'll work.
