@AstroTools
Some call it a "pneumatic chisel bit" some call it a starter removal tool. You decide...

It's your classic 2005 f-150, with the big five four. You can see: she's a new york edition and a snowplow two of the best combinations ever needs a starter, and anybody that's done. One of these little fellas knows that that top starter bolt will make you lose your religion, no matter what it is. However, astro tools now makes a bit for removing the starter.

It's this one right here: it's the 18 inch long, shank, 498, pneumatic, chisel bit and big nasty, because when you're done trying to get to it, you just take the starter out.

    Every 4.6 and 5.4 I've ever owned donated that top bolt to the mixed bolt bin. 2 was enough

    Did one in 30 degree weather. I think it took few hours trying to figure out the right angle to stick my hand to get to all the bolts.

    I just put an engine in one of those trucks and I hated every second of it. Everything was ridiculous and overkill and poorly designed

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Travis C says:

    Damn!!!! That sucks!! I guess you ain't getting the core charge back?
    That Ford isn't like all the rest? You have to use like 20 extensions and fish it through the suspension, to get to the top bolt..lol..On the upside, it didn't beat you!!

    "Well what do ya want me to do, lady? Break it off?" Yes..

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 61 Rampy says:

    I recall a similar arrangement on the old 390/428 FE Fords with a 3 bolt starter. I got those out with a 2' extension and 2 wobblies.

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars CC&Z says:

    I had to change the starter on my 2002 5.4 Triton Expedition in a parking garage when it left me stranded after my second day of work… That bolt is BRUTAL! I got it out, though.

    Lost my religion years ago 😂😂😂

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Pantherman1979 says:

    Ironic, working on a Ford Fusion myself; brake job. Those rear screw in calipers are a pain in the #$%&. I can't see a reason that Ford made them other than to give the middle finger to anyone that's not a dealership.

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dustin Committed says:

    He aint getting that core deposit back

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rodney Middleton says:

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MrShitrope says:

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars huzudra says:

    I take it you don't have to worry about a core fee on the starter.

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars robert w says:

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Walker Holmes says:

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeff Clark says:

    When I started out I would pop the belt and then compressor loose from the engine. Just to get to the top bolt on my grand marquis. Now I can get em without but I feel ya

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bill Potmesil says:

    Why do they do this to us? I changed the starter on an ‘87 Ford Ranger in a parking space, in the dark, by feel, at about 20 degf…..no problem! Your last video changing the alternator caused me emotional distress!

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike C says:

    Is it just me or does it look like roof caved in?
