- RYOBI Spiral Screw Extractor Set - Fixing A Broken Car/Truck Antenna
Using Ryobi spiral screw extractor set to help remove a broken truck antenna bolt that is stuck inside. Will the Ryobi be able to get the job done? Let us know if you have used screw extractor kits before and what your experience is in the comments section below!
I came here by chance and it turns out my issue is on the exact year and model truck. Thank you sir.
Wow that’s crazy, hope the video helped!
@VCGConstruction I saved it. As soon as I get home from vacation I'm gonna buy this and try it on my own. Then I'm gonna buy one of them shorty antennas and hopefully never have this problem again.
Great personality and humor along with a easy exploration and straightforward getting stuff done. More people should be like you and your channel. Big fan and this is my first video of yours!
I used to use these EZ outs back in the 70’s when working on fighter jets in the us navy. I literally used it thousands of times and it worked 99.9% of the time if you were patient and did it just like you showed in the video. I also found that if you used a small hammer to lightly tap the top of the EZ Out as you slowly and gently turned it with the wrench you could extract even the most difficult fasteners. Great video Vince!!
Thanks Mark!!
Great job ole buddy …… just broke mine running through a car wash ….. I’ll follow your lead!
This must be a Toyota thing. First time running my Tundra through a "Quick Clean" car wash, mine snapped off 😂🤦🏻♂️
I replaced a broken antenna last weekend and bought two sizes of a screw extractor. This worked like clockwork! Quick and easy! Thanks for sharing!
Common issue on Toyotas. Thanks for the video!
Great job Vince! That bang on the body is just a little character and a story for the future haha. Nice to see you on an outside project as well. A little different and cool.
They work very well Irwin makes the best and they also sell left handed drill bits that help to loosen the broken bolt as its drilling
Toyota really made this cheapest antenna socket threats as well antenna. I was working on this problem last week since my 2003 a Tundra fender rusted in pieces, I had removed then reinstalled used from junkyard, but antenna was not the same newly truck designed. Now I need to get a new antenna set with cable & wire install on the fender before get painted.
Thanks for video.
Hey Vince, I subscribed to learn the 'rest of the antenna story'.

As an owner myself I like how this guy meticulously drill the broken piece antenna safely until the moment he hit the hammer and slightly missed target at that moment my heart was like 😲😲 LOL. I like your work ethic and enjoy this video. Thank you ✌️
This good video. I do like Toyota tundra. It ok if you dont need full truck but u need more then s10 or ranger.
This is a 1/2 ton full size truck!
I smashed that LIKE button and subbed. I panicked when my antenna broke off and you totally calmed me down. Now I just have to put in an order for that spiral extractor set.
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!!
Followed all the steps...extracted broken stub easily..
I replaced with OEM antenna.
One thing I added was a dab of Marine Grade Dielectric Grease after blowing metal shavings out of the socket...figured it would keep the moisture out of the hole if I have to do this again!!!!
VCG working on cars? Dreams do come true! I have had very little luck with easy outs as well. I did get lucky on an exhaust stud recently and a broken bolt in a distributor.
Never had luck with brake bleeder screws though, hah! Usually just have to ghetto bleed it or drill and tap larger. Where I am, the rust sets everything so hard.
Def need to set it with a hammer. In my experience the more the better. It's snapping the easy out that really ruins your day! Glad this one worked out for you. :)
If had an easy out snap in an intake manifold back in the day! Needless to say I was “off to the junkyard “ to find a replacement!!
@@VCGConstruction Bah, it'll buff right out! 🤣
Little rubbing compound. ;)
And people hate on Ryobi all the time. Great job on this one Ryobi. Gotta say, the easy out sets are a hit or miss, it seems; as I haven’t found any that really work well yet. But hey, this might be my next one👍🏻
I really thought this was gonna turn in to a series of videos, but this set of bolt extractors worked for this application!!
VCG Construction Nothing wrong w/ that, & for $9.97....definitely picking some up tomorrow. Will be added to my dedicated tool box that has all sorts of extractors & such for “issues” on the job. Yeah, entire 22” toolbox cuz haven’t found a “good” one that works. Thanks again for this vid. Appreciate yours & Nick’s hard work.
Cheers ✌🏼
New subscriber here, just for this video. I have to remove the stud on our Sienna after it was broken in a drive-thru carwash. Great job...
Glad the video is helpful! 👍🏻
I just used this technique today thanks to your video. It worked perfectly. The only change I made was removing the metal shavings with a drill bit by magnetizing it so they didn't fly all over with the air.
I am guilty for using those 2 weeks ago and I used them incorrectly. Thank you for the knowledge.
Only listen to Hot 97. The ride or die calls always cracks me up.
Yo Joseph that’s what’s up cuz!!
I listen to am/fm all the time.
easy outs always end up causing more headache in my experience, but then again, i’ve never used them on anything other than suspension hardware. congrats on the success vince!
Thanks Brendan!!
Well Done! I have to try and help a Church Lady out for the exact same problem with her 2010 Honda CRV. After watching you very patiently work your way up to the correct sized drill before attempting to remove the stud, I’m more confident now, I can do this. Much obliged!!! Thank you!!!
KCRW Southern California is a reason to have an FM radio (although you can stream it on your smart phone). Vince, your videos are highly entertaining, love your product reviews.
Great job, ryobi??? Look at that, just look at it. Vince I would have never thought ryobi. You made me think not a bad buy. Another great video, thanks.
Worked good Rob!!
WRTI - Temple University Classical and Jazz. Gotta support the alma mater.
Great video, just lost my stubby antenna, not sure what happened but it is sheared off. This video was exactly what I need. Thanks again!
Was listening to the video as I was doing things around the house and would peek at the video here and there to make sure I was watching a decent video with all the possible innuendos I was hearing. Funny!
But great job, I snapped mine off of an F150 and the dealership wants an arm and a leg to replace the whole things. I'll invest in the Ryobi extractor and try it myself because it just might work for me and save me a few hundred dollars. Thanks Again for the laughs.
I ended up getting just the small extractor from the auto parts store. Took a while to drill the hole into the top of the broken stud (2015 Tacoma). Eventually, as I started to back the drill bit out, the stud came about half way up the shaft. I used the extractor to get it the rest of the way. Word of warning-an after market replacement antenna will not work with the Tacoma, no matter how many adapters come with it. I've had to order a Toyota OEM mast.
Correct! Red & Black. I used one product to get my diamond running boards for my truck to look chrome! Mothers did a great job on the candy apple blue paint job as well! 😁 sure miss my first Chevy work truck.
I bought that about 4 or 5 years ago... stripped the one that I need to use.. I think it was the 2nd largest one... ended up buying some Irwin brand extractors and they worked flawlessly
I’ll check those out Craig!!
@@VCGConstruction They're the best... Irwin makes all that stuff for everyone... including.. Snap On, Milwaukee, and Bosch...✔
That green paint on that tundra is gorgeous
Thank you have the same problem on my Toyota I’m trying your way thanks
This dude is my hero.
In some instances, a small torx bit works great as an extractor. Drill your hole, tap the torx bit in, rotate out!
Good call Coupe!!
Good job on that one Vince, looked like it worked as intended!
On a side note, and not trying to promote violence.... BUT
You don’t mess with a man’s family or his ride... that’s how fights get started. Hope the jerk that did it has them coming to them.
I hear ya cuz!! Thanks!!
Great video of the screw extractor Vince. See ya on the next one.
From experience, those Ryobi screw extractors work great!
Those that didn’t follow the instructions seem to be the ones that say “it didn’t work for me”!
And yes Vinsanity, that rub mark you left from the hammer can buff right out lol!
None of the part stores in my area left-handed drill bits in stock so I gave this a try with Ryobi's extractor kit. I started with a small bit and stepped it up until I felt the hole was large enough. I tried tapping it in but was kinda worried with it being on the roof of my suv. I just put the extractor bit into my drill then ran it slowly in reverse. Came right out! A new antenna base for my suv would've cost $90+ for sure.
Just saw the video. That was great. To the point and entertaining. Thanks.
Thanks for your vid... I have same issue and thought I'd had to buy the whole antenna set... Gotta go buy an extractor!!
Found this video after a bumper in the fwy slammed into the passenger side of my truck and snapped off my 6” metal antenna. I needed something else from Ryobi anyway 🤣
Get one of those little rubber antennas😎😎😎
Been using these for years now. These aren't a new product. This set has saved my ass so many times. I've broke a few because of rusted bolts so it would be nice if they made a hardened steel set.
Wow it actually works. Im impressed 😃😁
I’m super impressed, I didn’t think it would!!
@@VCGConstruction haha
Very nicely done Vince !!! Now you make me want to get a set of these. They're on my wish list already😁😍😀😎Congrats on being patient and using the right tool for the job. Well done my Friend. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and videos, Rodney
You da man Rodney we appreciate you!
Those extractors are the only Ryobi bits I’ve ever bought that were worth a crap.
I got one of the Hart kits from Walmart I'm about to try for this exact reason! Wish me luck! 🤣
Enjoyed the vid. Love to see more non-Milwaukee shill videos.
Chaka Gilis is going to hate this one! Haha! Thanks Vince!
🤣🤣👍🏻
I definitely was stoked when that worked! Congrats!
Thanks Adam!!
I agree I have bad luck with screw extractors
Nice job Vince. I’ve never had much luck with screw extractors myself, but I’ll use this video as a point of reference for the next time.
The biggest thing about easy outs that people don’t seem to understand is that they are great for situations like your broken antenna or other things like that. What they aren’t great for is trying to remove a grade 8 bolt that someone cross threaded so bad that the head snapped off trying to remove it. They put a small easy out in it and break it off inside of the bolt and then you have to drill through something harder than a coffin nail plus the bolt. As an automotive tech I’ve seen it a thousand times. I’m not dicking around with stripped hardened bolts. If an easy out isn’t removing it with a small amount of force and maybe a little bit of heat then I’m drilling the whole bolt out, installing a helicoil, and shipping it. Just have to make sure you always have some good sharp drill bits handy. I’ve had great luck with Viking magnum super premium bits over the years. Stay sharp and cut through hardened bolts like butter.
I’d agree, if you snapped the head off with a wrench an easy out ain’t gonna get it done!!
Horbor freight sells the same set. Also, I listen to fm radio all the time. Dave and chuck the freak in the mornings is the shit
🤣🤣👍🏻
Vince... You've got to try a "Speed Out" set. Left hand drill bit on one side, flip it over and an EZ out on the other. Big box stores have them and they actually work as designed. The drill bit side isn't the greatest on harder screws but for the price, it's hard to beat.
I removed my antenna and replaced it with a 6” stubby antenna two years ago, I never listen to the AM and FM any ways, I just need a short antenna for my Sirius receiver to connect to my stereo via FM.
I put a flexible stubby antenna as well, reception seems fine!!
I have 2 stripped over torqued screws I am trying to remove on my tailgate lock assembly (so close to having it fixed). I have tried everything except this so I am heading out to purchase it...pray for me
Vince, you can use a hinge bit, (like you would use for a door hinge), to center the drill.
I don't know why a lot of people say that they don't like them that extractors don't work it don't have good luck with him ECT. They have always worked flawlessly for me so much so in fact that 1 is always in my pocket. There are ascertain group driver bits that are always in my right hand pants pocket that is because they are driver bits that I use all day long everyday and it just so happens that one of those bits happens to be an Irwin extractor bit.
Left handed drill bit to start can sometimes pull it out
Great vid Vince a little rubbing compound will buff right out lol , i heard that all my life ha ha
Yeah buddy, I know it!! 🤣🤣
Thanks for the video I’ve had this problem on a used car I bought. I really don’t want to replace everything! If ya do affiliate links I’d buy it from yours.
Thank you, got it done! Awesome video
If the bolt is loose inside, you can take a needle point and wiggle the bolt in small clockwise circles. The bolt well rotate counter clock wise and unscrew itself. Worked for me but agian the bolt was loose inside.
Thanks for the awesome video....Going through this problem right now....lol...Love it 😋
Awesome. I have the exact problem. Mine was from an angry car wash though. Thanks for the video!
That crap will Buff out. Good job. Thanks, I'm one of those ole timers, lmao.
🤣🤣Kelly!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Nice job Vince, purchase some left handed drill bits and you can skip the easy out all together.
@VCG Construction I would only recommend it as a last resort. You break off one of those and good luck drilling it out. I'd also recommend using counter clockwise twist drills to drill out broken fasteners. Sometimes the drill bit is enough to get it out. But you don't wanna break off one of those screw extractors. It sucks I tell ya
All good points!!
Thank you !! I hope mine works as sweet as yours did. Great !!
Thank you, very well done
I listen to my Sirius xm and slacker radio there payed services I havent listened to the FM radio in 10 years
I’m an auto tech and have left twist drill bits for removing stuff like this.
Great!!!!!! You are the best!!!! Greetings from Argentina
Thanks Mar Fed we appreciate it!!
Great Video. I wasn't as lucky or patient. When the stud portion of my 2012 Tundra antenna broke off, it broke at an angle making it very hard to drill a hole and keep the bit centered. Hole ended up too far to the side. I guess I have to rip my a-pillar and get a new assembly.
My idea is to cut the coax cable on the existing and new assembly and then put a typical female coax cable screw on fitting on either end of the cut coax and screw them together with a male-male threaded cable coupling. I am no Antenna engineer, so I don't know if that will reduce the reception of the antenna and I will have to wrap and tape off this coax coupling joint so it doesn't rattle in the fender well, but I really don't want to take the interior trim all apart to get the cable unplugged from the radio and the satellite antenna in the A-piler. As long as it looks right and gets some AM/FM... I really don't listen to the radio much either... stream music over blue tooth from the phone.
A.M. radio RULES!!!
I did this and the threads were so rusted the extractor bit broke lol now to replace the entire cable!
A little Simonides and you’re good to go. Love your videos!
I’m a mothers man Nick!! Thanks Cuz!
I listen to a little radio. I pay for a streaming service for a reason though. Either way, good job with that extractor brotha.
Great video Vince...when I’ve used similar products in the past they haven’t worked... guess I was doing it wrong ..😂
Thanks Paul, this was the first time they’ve ever worked for me!!
Kool. Gonna try and get a set.Thank you.
Let us know how it works out for you
Yea Vince - Ryobi to the rescue!
👏it worked !!
Oh man I needed to see this.
Get it done!
Great job!
Thanks MJC!! ❤️❤️
My antenna on my 2013 Tundra broke off in the car wash. I’m gonna try that. Though I really don’t listen to the radio.
I grabbed a flexible stubby replacement!! It’s always good to have it on snow days to listen to AM radio for the traffic and weather!!
@@VCGConstruction i was about to say that emergencies are a good reason to have an antenna.
True that is what I would use it for if I did
Have a great Saturday guys! Saving the gang money again! See you on the next one!😍
Thanks ma! ❤️
I was honestly trying to buy this exact set at the orange big box yesterday, but they were all sold out. Now I know why, the Very Cool Gang must've seen this video early and went and bought 'em all🤣.
🤣🤣👍🏻
Thank you! I have some hope now lol. I still listen to radio :))
Did it. Worked great!
I’ve been using mothers for decades but truly old school was Simonize, long before Mother’s came to market. Ol school! 👍
Think I still got a half used can from the 70's somewhere. Black and red right?
I m I still have a half used can from the 70's somewhere. Black and red right?
I'm with you Vin. I almost bought that set a few times but was scared off from a past experience where it DID NOT work. But you gave me a better feeling about giving it another shot. Thanks for the video. And man I love the Tundras. Would love to hear your thoughts on the truck.
Love the Tundra, it does exactly what I need it to do Day in and day out!!
@@VCGConstruction I've been back forth 4 times about F-250/350 or Tundra. I've owned Toyotas and they are bulletproof and are on the road forever.
Great video Vince
It is very difficult try to drill a small hole and Get It Center even with a small center punch and a hammer one hit only you're always taking a chance of the center punch going to one side and causing damage to the vehicle the man did a pretty good job at trying to get ready aligned properly with the battery-powered drill it's a real pain to take off the fender to reinstall the radio antenna the car dealerships make everything so difficult to work on anything nowadays and the quality is so very poor everything is designed to break easily no bother you anymore when it comes to parts even dealership parts are no good the days of getting a vehicle with Quality Parts stop back in 1970 and earlier
I wish I watched this before I tried a supposedly good extractor set from Amazon. I followed the instructions and even then the extractor bit broke off inside the drilled hole. Now I have to replace the whole antenna assembly....
They make reverse drill bits that might unscrew when drilling out
That's what your supposed to use with extractors. You drill with the left handed bit/s, and if that doesn't work then you go to an extractor. The left hand bit has 2 benefits. 1 is that it has a slim chance of actually removing the fastener by itself. The other is that at worst it won't tighten the fastener even more like a standard bit might.
awesome. Got mine. Thank you
Nice and easy , thanks!
