I think you're talking about the piston that pushes the brake onto the rotor? If so, there is a special tool used to apply pressure and turn the piston at the same time. You can loan out those tools from most part stores. There is a deposit, but you get it all back when you return the tools.

Vehicles have many modules, for different functions The only reason to replace any vehicle part, is if it fails a test, that was causing a problem Electronic Module replacement comes with some issues, depending on the modules purpose There will be a setting or resetting procedure, that may or may not need professional tools to do There may also be a reflashing of software There may be a drive cycle you hear about, that has to be looked up & should be done by the shop doing the work, not the vehicles owner, who is not familiar with vehicles So your not going to be diagnosing any vehicle yourself likely & certainly not going to be installing any main PCM or computer modules, only to have a vehicle that can not be used Your should have come here with what the problems are & why the question

if your asking about the belt routing there is a decal under the hood somewhere that shows the routing. there is belt tensioner that will have to be moved to take the tension off the belt with a tool. the tensioner location will be indicated on the decal.

check front drive axles

run the fault codes and check for torque convertor clutch solenoid/ servo as if this is not operational then nothing works. It is controlled by the TCM module and if it was a sudden occurrence it may be a wiring connection fault or a fuse problem. The problem will have a fault recorded

This is a recall just like the 2005 Freestars. Your Freestar more and likely has a defective torque converter and worn out splines in your transmission. This is a life threatening recall and Ford inc has been looking at it as a casual recall. Get this to your Ford dealer today and have them fix it at no charge to you. Problem solved.

The only way to know for sure is to try it. Some vehicles will let you start them with a door-only key (I have one vehicle that does).

Check your Fluid Level, Shift to a Lower Gear (you could have broken something internally)... Please provide me with some additional information and we can go from there. If 1/3 gears work and 2/4 do not, then you have a failed Reaction Shell.

Trade it in for a toyota.

Do you have the original width tires on the vehicle from the factory? The tire size is on the drivers door or in the glove compartment.

Changing a clockspring is not for the novice repairman. You will need to disable the airbag system, remove the steering wheel airbag, make sure the wheels are straight and remove the steering wheel. Then you will need to use a clockspring compressor and remove the retaining ring and un-plug the electrical connectors. Then plug in the new clockspring and install the clock spring and retainer, then remove the alignment lock from the new clockspring after it is installed. Then finish installing the steering wheel, air bag, and re-arm the system.

Find out if this air valve is considered an Emissions part. I would say it is not, but it depends on the effect on the emissions. If it is a covered part, the Emissions devices are Federally mandated to last a longer period of time and miles than the rest of the car.The air valve is usually a different component than a throttle valve. The air valve is a part inside the air intake which changes the flow of air underneath the intake manifold. The throttle valve is a big flap on the top of the intake manifold which moves directly with the gas footpedal. The air valve operates automatically to change the air passages beneath the intake. The throttle valve changes the air opening from the air filter and is manually controlled by the footpeadal.You might ask them if the engine has manifold "runners" and if it does, then that could be the problem. Ford had several problems with these runners. Also, I can't say if your design is a sandwich manifold, but the sandwich intake manifold had a gasket in the middle to join top and bottom and over time the gasket dissolved making a leak.I would get a second opinion for this repair.

Sell it and buy a Toyota...
