I removed the solenoid to get the third bolt out and now I have the two bolts in w the new starter but can’t even fish my way into the third bolt hole even w the solenoid off!
Ford and their 3 bolt starters. I'll bet there are a few running around with two bolts. A friend had an 84 F350 with a 6.9L diesel. I noticed that it was missing it's 3rd bolt.
I'm very familiar with the starters on the 4.6 and 5.4 but I haven't done any on this particular engine until this video. I also wasn't aware they've been doing it since at least the 80s. And I bet there are quite a lot that have 2 bolts for sure
This helped me a lot replacing my truck's starter..thnxs
Hi Andy! So glad to see you back, I may not have been getting your videos... Nice work!
Thank you. I'm definitely still here. Be sure to have that notification bell clicked.
Very helpful video! Thank you.
PRO TIP: Remove the starter solenoid from both the old and new starter and make your like waaay easier
Thanks man

Do you need to make sure the teeth line up on the starter and the wheel?
No
Air or electric cordless ratchet
