Okay my G/Fs car (91 Stang 2.3 Auto) is stranded in a parking lot because the starter is dead... SOOO I gotta change it there tommorow so I'm wondering if you guys can tell me the exact sizes of wrenches I'll need to do the job because my tools are at my dad's shop where my car is and that is out of town so I just gotta mooch what I can off of my friends and I'd rather not have to lug around a tool box full of tools... Plus it's really cold out here and there is snow on the ground so I wanna get this done as quick as I can any help would be good I gotta go do this at 9 o'clock tommorow morning. Thanks for the help

PS I am scouring the forums right now for this information I've gone thru two pages of nothing with the search button so far so I'm still looking

I got a price quote from my local junkyard for $16.50, can't beat that.

Not bad, Spring is just around the corner so it is time to head to the J/Y for more parts for the Franken Engine.
