If you undo it make sure you undo it the right way. I ended up snapping the bolt off and had to get a guy to come out and get it out and it cost me around $120-$130 for the part and labour. I had too buy two new screws as well, but I am pretty sure you would be able to reuse yours.

Mine only trickled out a real little bit. Not much at all. And yes, ANTI-clockwise. Mine seemed to come easier when I turned it clockwise. Now I know why

Take it back to your ford dealer and exchange it for an EF/EL one. They fit but you need a new bolt.
