![]() Tap the new seal in place with a socket I used a 1 1/8 socket. When installing the new ones the "Fusion Swap Manual" suggested you use some RTV sealant around the outer diameter of the seals as well as around the OVC where the seal would sit. If you are replacing the OCV seal remove the old one, I found that the old seals came out much easier with heat (I used an old hair dryer). Remove the old seal and clean the surface, especially the four points where RTV sealant is used Remove the vent tube (yellow) and remove the valve cover bolts -10mm you will need a deep well socket- (orange) NOTE: they have rubber grommets that should hold them in the valve cover once they're loose but those do sometimes come out so be sure not to lose any of the bolts or worse have one of them fall down into the engine Slowly begin prying the cover off CAREFULLY REMEMBER YOU ARE WORKING WITH ALUMINUM! Once you have it started you can continue to remove it by hand. Remove all of the tabs holding the connectors in place and the two bolts holding the brackets for the wires ( you can just unclip everything on the one by the fill cap and leave it attached to the valve cover but I found it easier to just remove the one 10mm bolt) I used this as a guide (page 160) Fusion Swap ManualÄisconnect the ignition coils, upper and lower O2 sensors, VVT solenoid and another plug that I'm unsure of its purpose I replaced the valve cover gaskets on my 2007 6S Hatch V6 thought I would write up a DIY since I couldn't find one on here for the V6.
