Boy I tried. Really tried. I spent about two hours just trying to get either a 10mm large allen wrench or a 10 mm allen drive socket into the hidden nut on the starter for an 87 3.2 cab. I removed the heating duct. I tried bear hugging the tranny but I could not get my right arm near the nut. The solenoid seems to be asking to removed to get to the nut. That would mean some wratchet flat head bit is used. I have read in posts that the starter can be removed but it may not be easy. This however looks impossible. I don't see how it is physically possible to get this nut off. Even it I could insert the drive socket I can't see how I can even turn a wratchet wrench. I am obviously missing some trick here. I had the car up high on one jack stand the wheels chocked. Any tips or picks would be appreciated. I have a standard Pelican starter in a box waiting for action.
thanks
