My guess (and it's only a guess) is that because the F has a torsion bar rear suspension, it may need a special tool to release the load of the torsion bar on the linkage before the engine can be removed. A bit like the D/LD rear suspension, but on the F it's all under the engine, including the linkage. I would not attempt to dismantle the linkage without releasing the pressure, as there's a good chance of damaging something that can't ever be replaced!
