This is a screenshot of a page from the 1998 Ford Contour/Mercury Mystique Workshop Manual, viewed in Microsoft Internet Explorer. The page shows two numbered steps (6 and 7) from a larger service procedure, likely engine or transmission removal/support work, given other pages in the same album (ps2–ps7). Step 6 instructs the technician to remove the powertrain mount bracket by first unclipping the spark plug wires and then removing the retaining nuts. Step 7 instructs the technician to detach the coolant expansion tank by removing the retaining bolts and disconnecting the electrical connector. Three line-art illustrations accompany the text: the first shows an engine support bar tool labeled D88L-6000A installed across the engine bay (figure TIE0006957); the second shows the powertrain mount bracket area with callouts 1 and 2 for the spark plug wire clips and retaining nuts (figure MPV1301515); the third shows the coolant expansion tank with callouts 1 and 2 for the bolts and electrical connector (figure V1301192). No torque values, fuse data, or wire colors appear on this page. The document itself is titled for the 1998 model year, though it was uploaded to a 1999 Contour gallery.
