5.4 Seized...HELP!

Take the oil pan off and remove the front main cap. Should free up the main bearing if thats the actual problem.

How are you able to tell that it's the front main that's seized? I have unseized engines before. If you remove all spark plugs you may be able to work the crank back and forth a little with a breaker bar and socket. I'd also remove serp belt and try it. Even a half turn might allow you to access those T/C bolts.

Use a flexible socket or adaptor. With transmission mount removed, the tranny will hang down a little lower giving you a little more room. Just be sure to unbolt fan shroud beforehand and careful not to stretch hoses & wiring harness too much. You'll get them out.
