[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1846491, member: 18945"] $90? I think not. The piece of 1/2" od square tubing was $7 and I thought that was high. The problem with it is that it slips if i don't hold it firmly pushed in, which makes me think it isn't going fully up onto the square male stud on the winch apparatus. But it could also mean the id of my tubing is just too large. Since I cannot see up in there with the tube inserted, I really have no idea how far up on the male stud it's going. IF the wall thickness of my 1/2" tubing is 1/16" each side, that means the ID is close to .375 (3/8"). I need to drag out my old calipers and get a good measurement of the id of the tubing and go from there. The removal tools are not all the same, even within the Ford line. That winch down thing has changed over the years as different vehicle makers have tried to foil those that were stealing spare tires. (Is there really that much of a black market for spare tires?) and, it's different from F-150 to F-250 & up. Ford has also used a little adapter thing that had a square female opening on one end that goes over that stud and a flower petal looking inset on the other, kind of like the tool used to remove locking lug nuts.
