As Rob stated & I in post 1616 with photo I went thru wheel opening wheels right . I wanted my leverage down low. Short socket on flex head ratchet no extension long leverage bar with bumping motion. Tire stopped my momentum when it broke loose. The rest was easy. :like:
Had to rebuild my 57 Ranchero side loader 3 speed(several times long story) putting the last bolt in the side cover I dropped it, bounced once went straight into the speedo hole in the tail shaft. Yep had to tear it back down. Taped the hole after that. Learned early on, if I drop it it can...

That's my point about ST's stick. His website does not show up. I know that Mikes is not set up yet. Is his just being pushed on FB like Mike's is being pushed on 5g. If I was not on this forum I would not have known about either. 🤔
I am not tech savvy but when I do a google search for aftermarket transmission dipsticks the only ones that show up are for Summit Racing which does not apply & B&M which also shows it for the F 150. So how does one find this other sellers website? I can not. I know how I found the Fitzstick...
