5. Remove the oil pan.

Installation
1. CAUTION: Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the aluminum retainer plate.
These tools cause scratches and gouges, which make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of old sealant.
Clean and inspect the mating surface.
2. Note: If not secured within 4 minutes, sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with Metal Surface Cleaner F4AZ--19A536-RA or
equivalent meeting Ford specification WSE-M513392-A. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or 4 minutes, whichever is longer. Failure
to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.
Apply a bead of silicone around the rear oil seal retainer sealing surface.
^
Use Silicone Gasket and Sealant F7AZ-19554-EA or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSE-M4G323-A4.
3. Note: If the rear main oil seal is still in place and being reinstalled, be sure the lip is not folded over or wrinkled during the retainer plate
installation. The seal lip must start squarely on the crankshaft journal.
Position the crankshaft rear oil seal and retainer, install the bolts. Then install the oil pan and the two bolts. Tighten in two stages:
^
Stage 1: Tighten retainer plate bolts to 8-12 Nm (71-107 inch lbs.).
^
Stage 2: Tighten oil pan bolts to 14-20 Nm (10-15 ft. lbs.) then tighten an additional 90 degrees.
