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
Stop tellin everyone all the secrets we gotta make money off these jobs still
i say there i wasn’t asking your coming out of there right now or im getting the chisel 😂
Core Delete
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.
Knee slapper. Thanks for the grin.
When Eric puts on overalls, things get done……. Just Sayin'.
I don't think that starters going back for the core.
I want to see the video
Napa: "Sir, not only are you not getting your core back, we are now really not going to sponsor you"
😀 I love stuff like this. Thanks, Eric!
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
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..
I hope that china made aftermarket starter last long enough to get it out your door that Kia Sedona starter comes to mind oh Astro tools make us some new politicians gas and diesel prices are killing us
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.
I just want to know if Nappa accepted that core….
Is it me or the top of the truck is touching the top of the lift?
Oh Jesus. Wtf.
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 😂😂😂
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.
He aint getting that core deposit back
That's the best idea!!!
Lol. If it won't come off in one piece, it'll definitely come off in a lot of pieces!😂😂😂
Fantastic. My dad has one sitting with a dead starter which I will inevitably have to fix soon…
😂🤣🤣
Don't forget the magic words (four letter ones)!
well eric their goes the core refund!!! lol
I take it you don't have to worry about a core fee on the starter.
Step one…..
"Remove starter from bolt"
Works on crown vics too
Yeah my truck still doesn’t have that bolt installed 2 years after replacing the starter, I can verify it isn’t necessary…
It's gotta be an optical illusion but the top of that truck tools smashed against the roof
Hahhahaha “you’ll lose your religion “
Perfect!
I had to do one of these in a f350 and boy I had to leave half way getting it out get some lunch and come back to finish cause it was pissing me off lol
LOL!!
Literally just struggled through the top bolt last night on a 2008!
Even better than I expected. I can totally understand why there's no footage of the carnage. 8)
there goes that core
That was Awesome!
LOL! Best starter removal… EVER! lol
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
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!
Is it just me or does it look like roof caved in?
