I actually pulled my starter at the campsite the other evening, to clean it out, after a large mud hole followed by a momentary no start key turn. Also pulled another last month after it caught fire (remember that? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />)

I simply used a 3/8 ratchet, with a 2" extension on it for the bottom one, and sans extension for the top bolt (or was it vice versa?). The cooler lines are somewhat in the way, but with some creativity you can work around em. We ARE talking 3.0l right? I know that the 2.6 starter is an exercise in dieting and double-jointedness...
