#340 of 497 1996 Aerostar XLT Brake Pedal and Accelerator Pedal adjustments by gruesome Aug 14, 2005 (8:57 am)
I just got a pristine 1996 Aerostar XLT. Is there a way to (1) Adjust the height of the brake pedal. It currently is so far off of the floor that I must lift my entire foot off the floor to use it. I would prefer to leave my heel on the floor and pivot the ball of my foot from the accelerator to the brake pedal in order to operate it.   (2) the accelerator pedel is hard to push down. Is there a way to make it easier to push down, perhaps by changing a return spring somewhere?   Thanks in advance for your help and advice.
#341 of 497 Seemingly simple by kitc Aug 14, 2005 (5:01 pm)
I have a 92 Aerostar and one would think it would be a breeze to change the windshield wipers. However, I have sadly found this NOT to be true. The manual suggested buying FORD wipers and reading the directions on the container. WELL, I didn't buy FORD wipers but the ones Pep Boys sold me and they are already open so I am hoping to use them. I cannot figure out (nor can the two men who tried to help me) how the heck to get the old ones off, (which would hopefully show me how to get new ones on!!) If anyone can explain this seemingly simple "repair:" to me I would be SOO grateful!! Thanks! Replies to this message: littleh (Aug 18, 2005 11:05 pm)

Can anyone tell me what is entailed with replacing the transfer case in my 1991 Aerostar AWD with a 1993 transfer case? Maybe drive shafts or transmission extension?   Thanks,
#343 of 497 Heater hose replacement, HELP! by cagedriver Aug 15, 2005 (4:13 pm)
hi everyone. i have a quick question/request. i just replaced the two heater hoses on my van, but i think i may have them reversed. can anyone tell me which hose goes to the outlet on the left side (when viewed standing in front of the motor) of the water pump? i currently have the lower heater hose going to the small outlet and the upper hose going to the larger outlet on the left (when viewed standing in front of the motor).   thanks!   also, i managed to change all plugs and wires/cap this weekend without dropping the motor. it was a combo of hitting them from the side, under the van, and from the top of the motor.

Replying to: cagedriver (Aug 15, 2005 4:13 pm) Congtulations, on changing the plugs, wires,etc on your van!!! How many times did you curse and bust your knuckels ?? You have joined the few who can complete that job. Great work !!! I learned quickly to read the book first before attempting any job. Did you know that Ford recommends unbolting the front sub-frame and the lifting the body to replace the engine?? But I have watched the workers at my local Pick and Pull yard remove the engine and transmission from the front without damaging the vehicle, so it can be done...I also had to replace both heater hoses, so I go to my friendly Ford dealership and they charge me $32.98 each for the hoses on the van without rear heater. Each hose is made special to fit the water pump or the theromstant housing, so you can't get it wrong..How do you like those stupid connectors for the heater hose? Ford could have done a better job!!!! Did yours develop any leaks ?? Mine started leaking at the connectors at the heater core, one of the O-rings ( there are 3 on each hose) did not seat properly and started to leak, so I had to fix it, I was not happy about reaching into that small corner to disconnect it, what a pain.. What year is your van, the post '93 has different hoses, due to the addition of some valves on the hoses, therefore more stupid connectors and a higher cost ot he hoses. I hope that this info helps you some how....more later ....NBC

Replying to: cagedriver (Aug 15, 2005 4:13 pm) Aerostar prefers either Motorcraft (expensive) or Autolite (similar quality but better price) double platinum plugs & wires. Don't forget the air filter & PCV & O2 sensor. Soory that I don't know about the 3.0L engine heater hose system.
