Great information here. Quick tip though start on the bolts that are hardest to access first. If you take the easy bolts out that leaves all the stress and clamping load/ weight left on the last bolt, which can make it more difficult to remove Specially if it’s difficult to access.
I read this too late

Thanks for posting your video. Went just like like you said on my '08 F150 4X4. The only thing I'd add is to wrap a little electrical tape around the bolt flange and the socket to hold things in place when trying to line up that top bolt. Took about 3 hours, including time to go get the new starter. Don't know why this stuff always happens in the winter. It' s 17 out side, but 50 in the garage. Thank heavens for insulated garages and ceramic heaters!
this video helped me out a million times more than most the videos i watch about this and i was using a 9/16 and kept wondering why it felt like it would grib but not enough to get the bolt out
Just now, my '04 E-350 w/ the 5.4L wouldn't start in -20F weather at 4AM but my battery was good (literally less than 24 hours old, so I knew that wasn't the issue). Figured I needed to bang on the lower starter solenoid. I used your video to help me locate it quickly (I really didn't feel like browsing around very long in -20F!). Thanks man. Started right up.
This has been a bad hear for frozen starters on our old pickups in upstate n.y.
it's almost like they design these newer vehicles so that you can't work on them at the house. this never happens when I work on my 78 f150 4x4.
Thanks, replacing right exhaust manifold, gotta get this starter our to get at studs. Wasn't sure how many boots holding it in. Couldn't see top one even with a mirror.
Great job. This job on the ground is very unpleasant especially here in NY in 20 degree weather.
Thank you sir for your help. Seems super easy of course I'm sure them bolts will be a pain but no crazy tools needed. Nice
Hey thanks man that was really helpful about to go replace and remove right now.
thank you for saving me time and money currently working on this
Never got done 😂😂😂
The 4x4 model is a little more fun with space restrictions but almost as easy. That top bolt is the tricky part, having the right length extension is key.
I didn't know the history of my vehicle so I wanted to replace the brushes ( being an aircraft mechanic ) , however I just could not get the upper bolt and saw that the starter had blue putty on the bolts so thought it wasn't worth pain and aggravation
to check the brushes for that third bolt. I don't have a lift to make it easier to move around under the expedition, enjoyed the
video dude, thanks anyways.
Thanks was awesome, just needed to know the tools to take
Make sure you disconnect the ground terminal on the battery first.Otherwise nice video.
3:15-That is not a drain line, it is a standard Ford strategically placed "obstruction" just to mess with you.
.and if you touch it, that will void all warrentees. =oD
I'm having trouble with the 3th bolt I got the 2 bolt out yet you can not see the 3th bolt getting dark work on it tomorrow. I take it you just have to feel for the 3th bolt with the socket If I could ever buy a another truck it would not be over head cam truck. they SUCK!!!!!.
It's been the outer wire which the end rotted away. The shop where my truck was at, wanted to keep it & do more research on my vehicle. They soaked me for a Alternator, a Battery & they would have replaced the Starter but it started when I was there so I took the truck as in & said I'd come back the following week when I had more money. They were a good place to go but once the guy who I think sold it to the partner, they are just ripping people off. To think it was doing the same thing $450.00 ago.
I have the same issue my outer wire rotted out and isn't attached anymore. Anyone know how to fix that? Can I buy that and attach wire and bolt back on?
Gracias me sirvió mucho el video...
I'm working on mine now, and for the life of me could feel or see the top bolt. So I took the other two off and guess what? Whoever owned it before me didn't install it back in there I think. I wouldn't think it would have backed itself out.
Car companies. New Engineering standard=All engineers have to work on 10 yr old vehicles. Replace starter, intake manifold, spark plug and coil change before they design, engineer another vehicle.
Is that a 2004 Heritage or the 2004 new body, on mine I cant even find the top (third Bolt) much less dropping the starter? I think Ford made the 2004 F150 so you would have to pull the motor to replace the starter! And my luck after all this it will be the flywheel .
Is the top bolt facing the same way as the other two? I stuck my phone up there to take a pic and it either broke off, or it's the end of the bolt with the head on the other side. I've put about 3 hours into it yesterday
Just a reminder to disconnect the Battery during this operation
pussy
I made this mistake!
boy it finally got the 3th screw out it took me 2days after screwing and screwing I went raw it finally just fell out and i got it off the engine. I'm going to weld a socket on the 3th bolt to get it back in.
I can't even find the top bolt. I've tried n tried.. I give up. I'm buying new truck n trashing my f150. Getting a tow truck to remove it
i used this video. best if the starter is bad and u are going to replace it I find it was easier to take the solenoid off which makes for more room, and it was easier to get the top bolt off.
also make sure ur two ground wires 1 at and behind hood latch inside the truck and on pass side by fuse box. relocate the grounds higher up on the body, due to rust. must take plastic covers off to access the grounds
Thanks
Good video and it is enough to tell me I am no longer able to do it
If the bolt siezed up on me I would be dead in the water
I have an 08 f150 4.6L. I cannot for the life of me how to get the top third bolt can't see or even access it from the top, side or bottom. I would have to completely remove my exhaust and and right manifold. Truck is going to the shop, I'm tired of fighting with it
Well said
Wrong! Show us how you really pulled out the top bolt! That was a new bolt yoy showed just as a prop. Nice try!
I'm working on a 2007 expedition starter replacement and I have all the bolts out 3 of them. And the starter will not move. Do you have any recommendations on what I'm missing?
bSlimC Maybe just jammed in there, tap it, hit it with a hammer...Look at new starter, or a picture somewhere and make sure it just has 3 bolts, though I do not think I have ever seen 4 bolt starter, come to think about it, likely not.
Saludos
I can't get the third bolt out myself. My hands are too big
It is impossible to get a damn wrench on these bolts!!!!
the negative cable on the starter of my 2000 4.6 expediton smokes. it has burned out 2 starters already
chris palomo same is happening to my 2003 and it's wired right ?? Do you know issue by now ,??
I'm guessing. Rust? Corrosion? We've seen a couple of Ford 5.4s burn starters out from sitting on the used car lot here in the north east
2005 4.6 4x4 f150.I tried taking second and third bolt out and they won't come out. Bolt heads ended up getting damaged. This is the worse design on a vehicle I've ever seen to take a starter off!
I'm having serious issues removing the top two bolts. My problem is the 13mm sockets have too thick of a sidewall. They will not seat properly on the bolt head and it caused me to strip them. It looks like I'll have to remove the engine and transmission just to take off two stupid bolts
I snapped the bottom and side bolt top bolt came out good i the snapped an easyout inside of the bolt took two days to drill not fun at all
BMW - "hold my bier"
how do you get to the 3 bolt, hidden at the top?
Tim Roberts at about the 2:15 mark I show you the setup, ratchet and a swivel and about a 4 inch extension. I think I reached up with my hand and put the socket and extension setup on the bolt an then reached up and attached the ratchet to the extension setup. best of luck
Fixing cars and stuff what metric size are the 3 bolts....mine is spending the night at our local grocery store...trying to put together the tools I need to take with me in the morning.
They are all 13mm head bolts, and I am working on 1 right now, already got it out, but, tryin to get the lil b*stard back in, and I am noticing, the 3 bolts are subtly different, where 2 are same length, 1 of those, has a stud on the end, and goes on bottom, while the other is a flanged bolt, and the 3rd bolt seems to be a bit shorter then that flanged bolt, so, try to remember where each bolt comes out of, I didn't pay much attention to it, and now, I have the longer bolt in wrong hole, gonna have to put it in the furthest hole out(The bolt hole, that is NOT hidden up near the engine block.), that bolt hole has a "bottom" to it, the threads are seeming fine, but, once it reaches so far, it acts as if it bottoms out, so, beware of this lil issue, that I ran into, as well. This is 1 of the reasons, why I always liked the Chevy's a bit more, since, you could easily get to the bolts, and much simpler way of mounting it. BTW, the truck I am working on, is not my own, I am getting paid to do it, since I have done countless older versions, and had to swap engines, and they are not easy, I promise you this, especially if you are workin with original bolts, studs & nuts, for some reason, they love to rust-out(If you live in a state, like I do, where it rains and snows a lot!), and to help keep them from doing so, I bought some stainless steel nuts for the exhaust manifolds, and intake manifold, as well, plus a few extras. So, if you plan on keeping your truck, I suggest getting the flame proof black paint, and just giving the exhaust manifolds a quick coat or two, and also use the anti-seize lube(I tend to use the silvery stuff, that they use either lead(The older compound, that they used to make.) or aluminum to make it, where the goldish colored stuff is mainly copper powder. Both will work just fine.), so that your bolts don't seize up again, same with nuts, obviously. Not just around the exhaust, pretty much anywhere, where it is mainly steel/stainless steel bolting into cast iron, so it gives a super thin barrier, and it doesn't have to take the WD-40 or PB Blaster, to get them back off. Sorry for being a bit long, but, I guarantee, this will definitely help in the future!
I worked with extensions seriously a pain the ass not hard but time waster..Ford could have place the bolts backward for easier access
I had to take the passenger tire off and partially remove the inner fender well. It was still a PITA !! I dont know how small that guys hands are, but mine won't fit in there very well.
Or you can use a breaker bar to loosen the bolts.
And book time for this job is .7 of an hour good luck
Impossible work
He never encouraged to disconnect the positive cable to prevent shock.
Pain in da ass just changed mine out had to get a 1/4 flex head ratchet 2 medium extension s n deep socket pretty tight spot
It don’t show where to find the starter at!
Be great if we could see you disconnect it.
My starter has all the bolts off and still won’t budge
Need some help
Oh man y ok u cheated try replacing on the side of the road laying on your back with the temp around 115 taking out was the hardest putting in took only 15 mins it's because I started with the hardest bolt first
To much noise in background to hear you clearly!
😘
horrible help especially for the top bolt
I have 3 bolts the top one is a bitch and no wat to get anything in there its a 2004 explorer limited v8 4.6
Did this today and maybe i should have paid more attention to this video. Well anyways after today I hate Ford. I rather work on my Audi then this jajajajaj
