How do you remove the starter bolts on a 2000 ford focus you have broken 3 sockets and 2 adapters trying to remove them?
Use larger ratchet drive set. If your using 3/8 set and that broke, then use a 1/2 or 3/4 drive set even. A long handle ratchet will provide u with more torque at bolt head and allow you to use less "pressure" on the tools. Be sure to use counter leverage as best you can on the ratchet head so you do not cause the socket to "lean" off the bolt head. Finally, because ou have broken the tools, I suggest that you use a name branded tool that carries a lifetime warranty. Usually these tools are made using higher grade metal and although they do not look different, they are very much different. I use tools craftman, mac, snapon, duralast (no questions asked), Irwin (no questions asked), Stanley, there is a large variety of even really good tools. Just stick to lifetime warranty tools. DO NOT use an adapter, get the correct socket for the drive. Adapters are very weak at the point where the socket first reduces size. Typically, the brand name adapters are molded solid as one piece and therefore they are the better choice. .... IE: the bolts holding the starter in are or should be graded 8....very VERY unlikely u will break the bolt.
