2004 Sport Trac 4x4 Starter removal/replacement

[Linda Dunlop]

Hey everyone, just hit the scene here from Freelton, ON, Canada. Wanted to say hello AND, talk to anyone out there with the corrosion on the starter connection problem. What a pain in the butt to get at this thing, even with my little hands. Before I go pay someone who will rip me off, any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.


Cheers

This thread has posts with links to info on replacing the starter on both the V6 and the 4.6 V8.

Just pay, it's worth evert cent, you have to use a rachet with a pipe on the end barely moving it each rachet, slowly, because you are pulling it out from allunium, I Know because my cousin has done it (twice) on his 01 ranger if it's has the same v6

hmmm
I get the top bolt of the SOHC 4.0L starter with a 13mm wobbly socket and 3/8 ratchet, you have to work around the exhaust and front driveshaft but this one tool makes it possible and easy
