04-08 f150 starter replacement step by step Easiest and fastest way possible. 

Man you’re a life saver. Been losing my mind tryna get these bolts off 🙌

Even with your excellent advice it still took me a total of 7 hrs. to complete, and yes that top hidden bolt was 6 of those hrs. At my age of 63 i recommend at least take the passenger front wheel of , it's easier to climb out from under the truck at least. Thank you faceless guy much valued information

This is genius. I didn't end up having to take the solenoid off, and the mirror didn't help me, but the idea of using a combination of extensions and sockets and comparing their length to the new starter is a much simpler idea than the other videos on RU-vid. I just had to fumble around until I found the top bolt, and then halfway through unthreading it, switched out for a slightly shorter combination of extensions and socket. I also had to put my truck up on a jack stand because it's stock height. Removing the front passenger wheel also just gave me more room to slide around on the floor.

i was toto do it with solenoid on and those two bolts tore the shit out of my arm, i didn’t know it came off i thought it was one unit all attached. thank you 🙏

Thanks for the tips. It still took us about 3 hours, but the small extension was the key. I also taped the extension to the top with the top bolt in place when putting in the new one. That seemed to help get the bolt started.

Thank you for the video. It's going to save me a lot of frustration.

found removing the solenode makes it easier to get top bolt out.

Cant wait. Must be easier than pulling a transmission out with crowbars and rope. On pick and pulls 3/4" crushed aggregate base as padding

Thank you so much... youre an answer to a prayer...

Your cool dude😊

The 08-10 f150 started is harder to change than a 94-04 mustang with the 4.6 and long tubes.

I still can’t get it bro my truck has a lift on it I’ve even removed the ax compressor still no luck. This is thecworst thing ive ever had to tackle.
