Ford Windstar Introduced in the mid-1990s, the front-wheel-drive Ford Windstar minivan campaigned with an emphasis on, and reputation for, safety. And in the hotly contested family minivan market of the time, that was an especially solid piece of ground to be on. As long as buyers didn't need to haul adults in back on a regular basis, the Windstar served a family's needs just fine.

If you want to remove just the motor, don't remove the rivets. There is a better way. To remove the rivet, take a punch and drive it in the center of the rivet with a hammer. That's about it.

I drill my rivets out and then replace them with new rivets.
