Does anyone know where to get special tools for the early 6.0? Need a socket to take the nipple out of the high pressure oil rail. Ford told me I had to get it from rotunda.com, but there is no tools at that address.
Thanks.

SPX Corp sells most special service tools for the domestics. Their on-line catalogue can be a little hard to navigate, but the stuff works.
Google SPX Ford tools and you will get there - eventually.
They also own OTC
Tools for GM, Ford, Dodge
Hope it helps

 

Have ordered twice and they have both assured me that the socket is for the early 6.0 but the socket is too thick to fit down in the hole.
Does anyone know if the early 6.0 has the small fit holes? Thinking maybe the rail has been changed to the later rail, will they interchange?

 

Are you trying to replace the oring on the nipple that feeds the injector?? or the dummy plug in top of the oil rail on a late 04 and up oil rail?? Not too sure if the nipples on bottom are different between the years,I thought they were the same. all the 03 to early 04 have the same "LOG" rails and the late 04 and up have the "PRETZEL" rails.

 

trying to replace the orings under the nipples on the rail, but all the sockets that I order are too big to fig inside to take them off.

 

I have both oil rails out in the garage, I will check them out later and let you know what they measure.

 

Thanks been having internet problems, b ut will keep checking in.
Ordered another socket and the seller assures me it is for the early 6.0, will see.
Thanks for checking on the rails.

 

Finally got the socket in and there are differences between the two the early is a much thinner socket.

Seems like there is another altonlee here,

 

Your local Snap on tools dealer should have IPR and ICP sockets and OTC tools for oil rail connects, and fuel line disconnects. . Not cheap but fits well and works!
