- Really sorry about the audio do the best you can because the information in this video is great but I understand if you don’t want to stick around
So in this video I’m going to remove the starter out of this Ford F-150. The point of the video isn’t necessarily the removal and the installation of the starter because that is pretty much straightforward ..... and if you’re not able to figure out how to get the starter out from this video you probably have no business taking the starter out anyways. But there are three bolts You have to remove and then, you takeoff the two wires you disconnect the starter. The problem with doing the starters in these vehicles it can seem almost impossible to remove the upper bolt. So this video is geared more towards the novice at home Mechanic. Not only do I show you exactly how to get on the two challenge bolts. I show you exactly where to put your arm to remove them. So I hope the video is very helpful God bless and have a great day

ok idk what year truck but i have a 2010 F150 with the 5.4 in it and there is no where near that much room to get a ratchet or air ratchet in there let alone my arm......im so frustrated right now
Yeah it sucks bad
Did I miss something? I didn't see how he got that wobble socket on the top bolt! I can see the middle bolt and its a bitch but that top bolt is out sight. Sucks when they leave stuff out. Just show the new starter on the bench then the old one sitting on the bench, video done!
@@Whooboy400 it was a pain getting it out but i managed to get the top bolt out by removing the solenoid.... needless to say the top bolt did not get put back in. it has been like for a year and hasn't given me any trouble. the thing he didnt show was in order to get the top bolt out was that you have to remove the inner wheel well and i wasnt doing that. good luck my friend. best way is what i did to remove it. and left out the top bolt.
I finaly got mine in. I had to lay cross ways with my feet on the drivers side and the starter directly above me, I felt for the head of the bolt with my left hand and guided the socket onto the bolt. "Do not use the 12 splined sockets! Thats one bolt you dont want to round the corners off" I used a couple of 3" extensions because 5" was to short. It was a pain in the ass but I probably saved myself $200-300 dollars in labor.
@@JumperXxXCables You may have just saved my sorry a s s. truck sitting and rotting right now as there didn;t seem to be any room to get this done. i think your suggestion is a real gift.
I'm a sixty seven year old disabled senior who supplements my social security by selling firewood. The starter on my 1996 Ford F-250 needed to be replaced. I have arthritis in my hands..A mechanic told me $400 just for labor to do the job. I couldn't afford it. Thanks to you & your excellent video & a lot of patience I was able to get it done and back to work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It really saved the day!!
I just replaced the starter on my truck and this video definitely helped because the guy who installed it for me neglected to fully tighten it which led to the Bendix not catching the flywheel you causing me all sorts of headaches
Clay way, I like your style. Keep it up! Thanks!
Thank you bro, was at my wits end with that top bolt!!
What a great video. Thanks man
If you take the solenoid off first, it gives easy access to the starter bolt without all the extensions
Easiest way to do it is take the two small screw loose on the front of the starter (old one)a large section will come off and you can easily access the bolt I learned this when a mobile mechanic came to do mine he said he would be done in 20mins and about a hour later he gave up and left (no charge) I'm a general contractor and I've never gave up I couldn't believe it so I grabbed a big sawzall blade and was going to cut it in half 😂but saw the two small screws and it came right apart
This is not an insult at all actually it’s a compliment
Ignorance is bliss sometimes we’re a little bit too smart for own good
Dude you don’t have to wear a mask in the video trust me nobody’s gonna get sick from you
You should probably read the other comments…… You may get a laugh out of it
Thank you!
Good video! Ya can also reach the top and side bolts through the fender well without pulling the plastic by using a universal or universal socket with a couple feet of extension which I just did because I have a bad back. The universal may droop but turning it until it barely deflects (or wrapping with electrical tape, another old trick) works well and even better with a 90 degree impact. For that job I actually prefer the Harbor Freight 3/8 angle head impact after my bro got one. He leaves his Milwaukee on the shelf (we've both run USAF tool rooms and have decades fixing everything from fighters to trucks and industrial machinery). We just harvested two more salvage yard starters today prompting me to edit this post.
Yeah the first video I made five or six years ago and showed people how to do it that way all I did was get complaints…… So I showed people how to do it this way
@@sharpcarco Figures the non-professionals would snivel about that. From jet fighters to everything else the electrical tape trick works great.
Good luck with that. You have less access from there then under the vehicle. I wasted time taking the wheel off. You have to remove the exhaust in order to get the bolt. You can't find it feel it or see it without doing that. That's straight facts.
Cool video brother. Appreciate
Thank you Jose I appreciate You taking the time to let me know it does make me feel good to read things like this and know that all of the effort and work is worth it for some folks. Mostly people wanna throw shade and complain about my audio specifically on this video. How Videos don’t make a ton of money. I only do it because I enjoy it. And for people like you that will actually take the time just to say the plane thank you!!
I greatly appreciate it and welcome to the channel we’re very happy to have you
I don't know about you brother but I think we all talk like that to our vehicles when we're in there getting dirty.... Goes with the ambiance
Thanks bro
Good job

Thank you very very much!! I greatly appreciate the kind words and welcome to the channel were super happy to have you
The top bolt on my 05 F150 was real easy to get out cause whoever changed the starter last didn't put it in.🤣🤣🤣
🤔😂
Lucky bastard!! 😂
I already removed my starter and replaced it and then found your video. It did give me some tips I could've used. The only thing I can think of on how to improve your video is, maintain a steady volume level. There was one time when you edited something, the image jumped, and your voice was way louder. I had to turn my volume down. Thank you for the video.
G thanks….. must’ve missed the part where I said that.. these are free TH-cam videos I know that normally most people are watching asses jiggle and Lamborghinis but unfortunately these are auto repair videos and they don’t make quite the money that stupid shit makes…. But I actually take effort and only make about 2/10 of a cent per view….. and just so you know I didn’t pay for my subscribers I earned them so there’s a reason for that and it’s not because I have faulty equipment all the time….
So sometimes when equipment breaks you have to work with what you have obviously this is a couple years old so I repaired the problem but you’ll also find out when you’re doing auto repair videos the metal shavings get all over the place and mess up your microphones it happens over time this was just one of them times thanks for the advice though……
Good Video, your volume is all over the place. I have the top bolt to get out tomorrow. But really good video. Got a 1999 Mazda b3000 with the 3.0 , 2 wheel drive. And I mean that top bolt is a real X@! 69 !!!!
Well I’m terribly sorry about the audio because I work on so many different cars I get a lot of dirt in my microphone it’s very difficult to clean it out so I just had to replace it recently I’m glad you got that bolt out of there though and welcome to the channel
I took my old starter out, laying on cardboard on top of stones. Locating the bolt & breaking it, did it with a 3/8 wrachet & a square metal bar, brutal .... I put the new one in , [ put anti - seize on the bolts. My old one was smoked the selenoid had shorted. *Tested all cables for shorts, including positive battery cable with a Fluke meter . Had to put new termial on the "S" wire. Hooked it up , conneted battery that Mazdab3000/ rebadged ranger jumped to life.PS: did use a universal 3/8 with a short 13mm socket & a long extension.put electrical tape around universal to limit play, did the trick.used hydraulic Jack put it wear the side steps would Mount to, & put a lock Jack on beam, it was safe. At 62 still have brass ones.
Thanks clay
You're welcome!
My names clay and I like doing it the clay way 😂
😂 it helps that we both have bad ass names!!!!
Good video
You’re one of the very few that doesn’t complain about that video so thank you very very much. Welcome to the channel. Happy to have you if I remember right the audio is super screwed up in that.
Thanks man
You’re very welcome , welcome to the channel and thank you very much for the kind words
I got it all back together. I'll be back in the future I'm sure of that. Thanks again
For more help on your F150. Check out this video!

Dude your sound sucks ass. WTF
my 2017 f150 5.0 doesnt have that kind of room to reach that top bolt. I'm having a helluva time putting the top bolt back in. i can't fit my hands up in there either. super frustrating but taking a break, calm myself down and try again. If i can get that top bolt back in i'll be cooking with gas than!!!
Great video. Is that 5" length with the socket or just extention length?
I’m sorry I don’t remember off the top of my head
Grand Rapids 👏🏾
He never started the size of the bolts or socket I'll goggle great video
Thank you.
I’ll say one thing. I hope a preacher wasn’t in the vicinity while I was conversing with that top bolt.
😂😂😂😂
Here is what I had to do and it took me 6 hours. 4 of which trying to get the socket on the top bolt. I only have 1/2 inch clearance between the exhaust flange and the starter. I have long skinny fingers and could not even touch the top bolt with the tip of my finger. I stabbed for hours trying to get the socket on the bolt, finding out that I never came close nor even touched it.
This was my fix: Take the 2 easy ones out, pry the damn thing off, breaking the ear on the starter. remove the last bolt and remaining piece, tape a small socket & 6 inch extension to the top of the new starter with the bolt partly in the hole, set the new starter up and attach ratchet to extension and run it in.
That was my plan and should work for 99% of you. for me I was vindicated when the starter wouldn't slide into place because the extension was hitting the bolt that held the motor mount. There was NO way you can remove my starter without removing the motor mount!!! I only have 2 bolts in place, if that doesn't work out then I will have to buy a new starter, lift the motor then remove the motor mounts. maybe the mount is worn out... but is measures the same as the other side. Fk Ford!
I agree..those stupid engineers are idiots.im working on mine now ..took me 7 hours just to take it off.my gosh! . tomorrow I'll install back on..I'll just put two bolts back bottom ones.fk ford
@@THEGAME-tz6yu I have 2- F150's and both starters went on within a week. I wrote the 05 w/ 190K miles off on a collapsed motor mount then the 07 w/ 130K went out and it was the same issue. The bolt that holds the motor mount bracket to the block is directly in the way on both trucks. Funny thing is that the 07 has been changed before and only had 2 bolts in it. It worked fine. Now both trucks have only 2 bolts and so far they work fine.
QUESTION: IS YOUR WOBBLE SOCKET ACTUALLY A 13MM WOBBLE??
It is possible that it could be a 14 mm on different years but most of the time it should be at 13 I get that information from somebody who has done hundreds of them engines and that’s what he tells me
bid you did say the size of the bot head . is it 10mm or 1/2 inch?
1/2" is 13mm
Hi, Y'all. Just want to let you know what worked for me. 3/8 ratchet, 3 inch extension with 1 inch socket. I have a 2010 5.4 liter. Hope that helps!
Tried my best to reach that top starter bolt! Couldn't do it! 2012 F150 6.2L 4x4 Harley Ed. when are you coming? 🤣🤣🤨😭
🤔🤔😂😂😂😂….. you’d be surprised some people genuinely expect that….. sorry brother. I believe the suspension on the Harley Davidson probably has something to do with it not certain though
yeah my motor mount is in the way, I think I'm just going to burn this truck to the ground :( any advice on a 2012 starter removal?? I don't want to do what indykurt says but holy hell I can't get that bolt at all
I worked on my truck for several days getting that starter out. After work, weekends, and working around the weather. But I got it. Didn't bruise my forearm, but it sure was sore after I got it out. Putting it back in was easier only because I knew what to expect. You can do this! (You may already have! lol)
Wise men don't put that upper bolt back in 💯
Accurate Engines? I sure hope Lani doesn't own that shop any more. Place was a hack shop back then.
Great info. But cant hear you very well.
Very very sorry about that we were having technical difficulties at that time with our equipment. I believe we’ve got that rectified thank you for letting me know and welcome to the channel I hope the video was helpful for you
Don't watch this wearing headphones, unless you enjoy bleeding from the ears.
Sorry I can’t afford really super good quality microphones nor do I have the time because I do have to make a video and work. I do apologize they’re not all like that but they are like that from time to time.
Where is the part showing you take the starter out? And install the new one? Because the hardest part is not the bolts it’s finding the room to back the starter out on a 4x4… that part was completely skipped, why?
It doesn't make sense that Ford did it like this
I used to tell and teach my children that the government would not do that because that does not make sense…….
I don’t know if that says anything to you … I’ve now learned my lesson…. Things don’t often make sense.
Cool mask....do i have to wear one while replacing my starter?
No only when I’m talking to the camera......
I’m not wearing the mask for the reason that you think I am
@@sharpcarco sharia law...
@@sharpcarco camera can’t get 😷😁
What if you just don't put that bolt back in
Easier to get back in than out. Put a peice of tape over hole and insert bolt. then use 1/4" drive w/ 6" extension.
Figure out how to balance your volume next time please. Otherwise helpful.
Keep the volume down!!! ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ you'll blow your speakers and or ear drums out when his mic starts working correctly!

Maybe I am blind but you removed the middle bolt that was by the solenoid. What about the top bolt where is that one? like others said this video really doesn't help
I really did not like looking at you in that mask.
Well I’m sorry to hear that. most people assume that I was wearing the mask because of Covid……… I can assure you it wasn’t because of Covid……. Well I guess technically it was because of Covid…… during Covid my dog ate my false teeth…… well in the wonderful state of Michigan there were no dentist so I couldn’t get my false teeth replaced. so I was embarrassed so I wore the mask because it’s embarrassing.
Also because business was good before Covid and free money pouring into everybody everywhere, (except me because I’m self-employed of course) I could afford to get my false teeth replaced…… then Covid killed business and now that the dentist are available I cannot afford to get my teeth replaced…… No huge amounts of Covid Welfare money for me. And since I am not worried it any longer about or what people think of me , I don’t wear a mask any longer……
Welcome to the channel have a great afternoon.
No room for socket
What year did you say this truck was? Oh yeah that's right you didn't that helps
Didn’t need to rocket scientist…. It’s this grand conspiracy by these auto producers called profits….. sometimes they make the same thing for well over a decade because…….. well they make profits…. It is a 5.4 and it is the same procedure for any 5.4 and probably the 4.6 believe it or not which you probably won’t
Guess torque values aren't used
Google Ford F-150 5.4 starter bolt torque…….. if you need them… everybody thinks they’re freaking Siskel and Ebert, people bitch if you don’t give them to them and bitch if you do…..
Useless, I see 4 bolts, book says 2, viseos show3, where are they located???
Not show enough
Comment t as enlever la bolt du haut avec l aide de dieu je suppose.Il ya quelqu un qui as réussi comme moi a lenlevere.Video inutile car la clé du succes c est la bolt du haut car le restant meme un enfant de 6 ans est capable de le faire.Comme l adage (gros parleur petit faiseur).
Fool
Lose the mask!
Hey dude the fucking dog ate my false teeth and I’m in barest about it so for a little while I wore a fucking mask in my videos even though I was the only one around!!!!!
Welcome to the channel fucker!!!! Lol
Why are you wearing a mask while filming by yourself, 10 seconds into this video no matter how much time you save me I am not about to take your advice
Well it wasn’t because of Covid…….. I suppose technically it was during Covid the dog ate my false teeth and I was embarrassed about it for a while……. And I figured I could probably get away with it for a bit till I got new ones…….. but then everything started going crazy and I didn’t make any money so I couldn’t afford new ones now I don’t wear the mask I just don’t have any damn teeth lol or any money to buy any thanks to build back bonkers……
Lose the mask !!!!!
Chill out dude lose the mask
Well…. Would you care to hear why I’m wearing the mask? It’s not because of Covid…..
The story goes that the dog ate my false teeth, and I was embarrassed …. It’s actually a true story, and I find it very humorous.
