True, true. But am I the only one that find the removal of the starter to be not a biggy? Last time I changed mine I did it in about 45 minutes, really!!! I used a couple of extensions with a wobbly at the end for the top bolt. I find a lot easier to work on it from the bottom and if you want more free space then drop the front shaft.

You're not the only one.. I'll say it again and again that changing the starter isn't that bad! it oculd be worse guys. I thought the 2.6 was easier than the 3.0 untill I did the 3.0 for the first time at a rest stop at 10 am in the morning.

Does it help to get the socket on it first an then get the rachet/extension on the socket? I never remember it being that hard.

Good luck

Borrowing an extra extension did the trick, as did going from the bottom. Thanks, all, for your help--in the end, it wasn't as bad as I thought.

I find stubborn anger to be one of the best penetrating solvents. Congrats. Time for the victory dance and two fingers of Gentleman Jack...

Gotcha beat...my dance was a thing of sublime beauty, and it was followed by a half-barrel of Tennessee's finest.


Now....on to the brakes!
