Alright guys I have it all back together. I was actually rebuilding the complete front end of my Lincoln MKX and took the intermediate shaft out on accident. Boy was that a costly mistake. I bought the seal kit which included the red seal, the plastic collar, and the dust cover. I watched a video on how to do this and failed to follow instructions on heating the dust cover before installation, so it cracked. I bought another dust cover and rather than heating it with a heat gun I boiled water which boils at 212 degrees and I put the plastic dust cover in there for a couple minutes. When I installed it this time it was a piece of cake. I actually didn't use any special tools for the red seal or the color collar goes in at basic arm pressure but the red seal I actually installed with a bearing installer kit. It's a kid that has a handle impound on with about eight different metal discs for installing and replacing seals and bearings. I found the smallest one drowned it down so didn't have an angled edge put on the little pound handle and because it was not long enough I used my Jack handle as an extension. the rubber boot on the intermediate shaft I couldn't find anywhere so unfortunately I had to buy a new intermediate shaft as well. If anybody has any questions feel free to shoot me a call or text message 262-282-8899 Andrew

I consider myself to be somewhat tech-savvy but I didn't find a single answer on that web page. In fact I didn't find it to be user-friendly at all.

Hey what's up? I am new to this group and just picked up a 2010 MKX. Couple weeks after purchasing it the ball joint on a lower control arm went out and fortunately I was just at a gas station and not flying down the road. I took the initiative and spent hours upon hours researching parts prices good better best and ended up buying all new parts. Lower control arms, struts, wheel bearings, everything. The only thing I used on the front end that came original from the vehicle is the steering knuckles. While removing the CV joint on the passenger side something inside of me told me that I need to loosen the two bolts and remove the intermediate shaft. I think I made a mistake but I did read that once you remove the shaft you need to remove and replace the seals. I got the dust cover off as well as the two seals that are about an inch in diameter. The little circle one and the red circle one. I'm not sure what to do next can somebody please advise me or send me the instructions and or pictures. I would greatly appreciate it
