Its really easy but hard to find the ford ones. There is like 6 left throught the known ford system. I tryed one from autozone, It worked but didnt fit perfect. The hardest part about this job is pushing the new rubber bushing into the hole in the floor. Soak the fitting where the cables fit together under the drives seat a couble times a day for a few days before you try to get them apart and it comes of easy. You might have to brake the tabs off the end of the cable by the release lever to get the old ones out. But I think they make a tool for this, but I did it with a couple screwdrives, but had to brake one off cuz its hard to get to, and sounds like you dont need the old cable anymore anyways.
