I used a tip that Car craft detailed on their 86. Get a dremel tool with a cutoff wheel, and cut away the console plastic that is blocking the two forward bolts that hold down the rubber boot. Obviously be carefull to avoid cutting any plastic that holds the leather boot in place. That trick saved a bunch of time.

Also be carefull with the boot, it's a pain to get a new one from ford, and if it gets torn up expect a big draft and tons of road noise
