You really need a lift. There's 3 bolts, 2 of which you have to get from the front with a very long extension. I had to take mine out when I R2 my transmission.
I have had mine in and out many times. To tell you the truth it sucks, I have many sockets, extensions, and a lift at my disposal and I still hate doing it.
Yep, I believe the socket size is 12mm...and you'll need a deepwell and a regular one, and a couple 12" extensions and a universal joint extension...you'll have to manuver it through the K-member and a-arms to get to the top bolt...Have fun...I've had mine in and out about 5-6 times now and it gets easier as you do it a couple times and know the routing of the ratchet...Helps to have bionic forearms and fingers too...
I was hoping you wouldn't say I need a lift. Is the starter one of those mini torque, or just a regular size. I know I could put a mini in there, and I know the mini made the starter installation into my 67 fastback WAY easier.
Not that I want a shop to do it, but what do you think I'd be charged for installation?
You shouldn't need a lift...I did mine on some ramps or some jackstands...It's not as difficult as it seems once you see what you have to do with it...
No you don't need a lift. It might be a little more comfortable with one but I took mine out several times on jack stands. Basically like everyone said, get a deepwell (12mm sounds right) and a bunch of extensions to where the ratchet is basically at the front of the engine. Disconnect the battery first though and drop the H-pipe.
