I have Ford 2000 explorer xlt with 4.0 OHV engine tried to fix it but the bolts keep snaping out on me and treads are just lossing no matter how many times i re-tread it… Im no mechanic just trying to do it on my own and im wondering if that housing is replaceable… ![sketch-1555536456831](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/2X/9/9ef43ca91ede6a2c1cf5db82bd35a37cf02badd4.jpeg) ---
