Installation Notes and Tips
Fits 2002-2003 Ford Explorer, N/A; Fits 2004 Ford Explorer, N/A, before 03/30/2004; Fits 2002-2003 Mercury Mountaineer, N/A; Fits 2004 Mercury Mountaineer, N/A, before 03/30/2004. The pulley is supplied, and the reservoir is not included. For warranty purposes, Cardone recommends installing an in-line filter, using the suggested OE fluid, and flushing the system before operation. If the original pulley has a loose fit after removal, the pulley should be replaced.
