Well done! The way you narrate, keying constantly on patience and not just bam, bam, is so important. I see little of this from most professional TH-camrs.💯💯
You made a truly good video here and you should receive royalties from the tool manufacturer in my opinion. I haven't gotten to the point yet of breaking any of the 3 stuck bolts in my 1995 351 truck, but I'm so certain it's going to happen. And after watching your video a few weeks ago I went ahead and bought a tool I believe to be at least identical to yours in preparation. I currently have eleven 9th gen trucks with one being a 93 Bronco. I'm retired on disability and hope to end up with a couple reliable drivers and make a small profit off the rest to supplement the income our current government is cutting in leaps and bounds in order to buy and support the new voters they've opened our border for ! Thank you much for your time and effort in sharing this information. Having spent half my life as a Die Maker Machinist and being no stranger to broken bolts, I can see this tool having a special place in my arsenal.
I'm really glad that I found this video yesterday, I went to pull the waterpump on my 96 bronco and the outer to bolts were stuck and would not budge. I followed the tighten/back off process and was able to remove both bolts without breaking them and got it back together tonight, and you guys saved me a lot of grief. Thank you!!
I ran in to this many times they seize up from corrosion, what i do is made a hollow bit from brake line that just fit over the bolt, you install a steel rod in one end of the line so you can grip it tight with a drill and the other end make it jagged to cut the corrosion, and it worked great . and the timing cover was never damaged, the bolts would come out as you drilled, it was so easy to do. just snap all the heads off which usually happened trying to remove them then drill them no problem did it many times and never damaged the cover. so simple.
Glad it worked for you. Mine was so corroded into the timing cover and the stud was shit. Stud kept snapping off. Now the studs on both corners are broken off inside the timing cover. I am going to tap both studs with a smaller bolt and install the water pump. If I heat and pound and then warp the timing cover then all of it will need to be replaced. Increasing the job to a full front engine rebuild.
I’m doing the same job on my 96 Bronco 5.8L. In my case the head of the bolt snapped off. I removed the water pump, leaving the snapped off bolt. No threads are exposed. Do you feel like this tool would still work with no head or threads exposed? Thanks
Wondering exactly where below is to get that part number to buy one of these instruments on Amazon ? Ford could have done far better with water pump bolts as could have Toyota . I'm currently changing the water pump on my one of eleven 9th gen trucks . These were the last of the true all Ford trucks . The 2 things I like the least is the water pump bolts and the fuel line disconnects . I do appreciate your video and will figure out finding the tool as I'm a tool nut . I'm pretty certain I have 2 bolts the outer 2 from side to side that feel as if someone used green loctite on them. I have 45 years experience in rusty bolts, (and many techniques in removal of such bolts), over 30 years working with plastic injection molds and stamping dies with a heavy background of broken bolts and water lines and all sorts of different ways of dealing with such pains . I'm now a 60 year old cripple loaded with physical pain and am always willing to try new methods to make things easier . So thanks again for your time and effort with the video. It's very well done.
Bought the tool last week to use on my 98 Explorer. I have about an inch of bolt to grab onto, tried twice but the tool kept slipping. I’m going to try again tomorrow. This all started with a few pulleys that had blown bearings. I decided to detail the engine compartment since I’m pulling things apart. Out comes the battery and air intake. I removed the coil packs and mount. Two reasons, access and the mount had rusted. After a few hours over two days I noticed a bolt on my water pump had backed out. Prior to this I had the alternator rebuild and had removed the mount for that. The fan and shroud removed along with the balancer assembly and the water pump. I’m pulling the front end of the engine. Two reasons for this idea, possible broken bolt in the block and I’m 3/4 of the way in. So far timing chain and gears, fan and clutch, spark plugs, water pump, pulleys, a few hoses and few bolts will be replaced. If I missed anything chime in. Thermostat was recently replaced. Oh by the way, I’m no mechanic, so it’s going slow.
Used this same tool on a 05 chevy 2500 with a 6.0. It acted like a lathe and cut the bolt down. Ended up having to weld a nut to the end of the bolt. Granted the bolt was essentially welded into the engine block by corrosion.
Have this very problem and same engine, got 1 of those extractors and tried this but the remainder of the bolt just kept rounding over and grinding away, now I'm trying to remove the timing cover but once again that broken bolt wont allow it to be removed
@@Jeremy-rg3bg oh I remember this now, had to buy the longest flathead screwdriver I could find so I could wedge it between the block & timing chain cover with a hammer, forced the cover to come off over the broken bolt (corrosion froze bolt in hole) slowly worked the cover off then had about 3 inches of bolt to put the extractor on and remove it, luckily I didnt break the timing chain cover and was able to reuse it, new bolts and gaskets and its all good again
Got to rock the stuck bolt slightly over and over again to loosen the crud. i.e. very slightly loosen bolt, then tighten back, repeat over and over as it loosens, loosen more before tightening.
Two nuts put on, if you didn't screw up the bolt threads, I think could do a similar job if your only way to get to the store is half apart in front of you.😂 but like you so clearly and well spoke,,,patience!!!
Do you know what the set of bolts are called that you use to take off for the water pump? The twelve ish bolts that come with it. If not how could I find that info to buy them seperatley?
You don't need that tool for the ford stud bolts, you can just use two nuts jammed together on the threaded stud, and work it back and forth, after tapping with a hammer to loosen the rust and best to heat it up if no wires to melt, then work it back and forth to break apart the rust. You should not have cut it off, that achieved nothing.

You rock! I had the same problem...same bolt! Thank you for putting this up. So helpful!
What is the name of the tool and where to you buy it??
Bought one last week thanks to you had the same seized bolt on my Ford 5.0 tool worked like a charm sure glad I came across your video

Could you attach the tool to a rounded off bolt BEFORE it breaks???
That’s where I’m At… I haven’t cut the tip off yet…
so happy i found this bout to go buy it and try it out on my 5.8 f350 water pump same exact bolt that seized too

It came last week and now I’m about to use it thanks to this video😎 Hope all goes well. Let’s get it 💪🏼
Bad news. The tool gripped good but I broke off the stud that was left from the bolt on my ford 1988 5.8 bronco 😩

What if the bolt is just rounded off?
We are having the same problem what is the name of the part
I must not have enough stud exposed because the extractor comes off the end as I tighten
Where can I buy that Tool
Pure gold, thank you
Excellent video. Thanks

You didn't tell us what u used to finally remove it

Mine come out an inch and now nothing wont go in or out same motor
Thanks, wish me luck I'm about to do this
I got one off but the other broke inside x.x
A left handed drill bit has been my way of handling that.
@@HowWeDoIt_HowTo I think my dad decided to just take everything off my vehicle and cut into the timing chain cover.
Do you know what the set of bolts are called that you use to take off for the water pump? The twelve ish bolts that come with it. If not how could I find that info to buy them seperatley?
I generally go to Rockauto.com or summit racing, and look for water pump bolts for the year of motor I am working on.
You have to heat them up not too much if you see that aluminum bubbling it's too late
We just don’t have enough room to get anything like that in there. It’s too narrow
You don't need that tool for the ford stud bolts, you can just use two nuts jammed together on the threaded stud, and work it back and forth, after tapping with a hammer to loosen the rust and best to heat it up if no wires to melt, then work it back and forth to break apart the rust.

Would that work on Chevy Cruze bolt ??

First, no water pump in today's engines, is easy to remove! Can you say sardine can!
Excellent video thank you!
