New Tranny Bolts

trailblazr81 · Mar 31, 2007

So can I get these at my local Ace or True Value? Or maybe a Home Depot/Lowes (thats 25 miles away)?? Or is this some Ford Bull Sh1t and I need to get a whole set from the dealer?? I FUBARed the top two getting 'em out. I already spent about $40 for a 3ft. 1/2" impact extension and about $15 on a 13mm swivel impact socket since I couldnt budge the top 2 on my first try.

I tried. Wouldnt budge. I had to let the air compressor fill twice before my impact wrench would break 'em loose.

is that the top of belhousing bolts? When I did my clutch, I could not get the top 2 out (impact wrench, didn't do it, all it did was brake my extention, sockets).
After struggling with it for 2 days, and several busted tools later, I pulled out my glinder, and cut the mofo off.
Funny thing was that once head was cut off, i was able to turn the bolt shaft out with my finger.

Anyhow, I had a heck of time finding the bolt. I even got an argument with Ford dealer's parts depo due to them telling me that there is no bolts where I told them where my busted bolt came off of (Its not in their computer)

I ended up taking it to the Lowes, and matched the bot for like $1 each.

MAKE SURE YOU GET GRADE 8 BOLTS!!!

Ya I think I remember reading about how you cut the head off with a dremel then the bolt came right out. I dont understand what Ford was thinking. First cant un-bolt bell housing from outside, these pain in the azz bolts that aren't even in the repair manual, and I shouldnt need an impact wrench to take off bolts where driveshaft connects to axle!!!
