about to replace my starter. not too hard right?
 

guys,
My car wouldn't start after sitting idling for a few minutes at costco gas station. nothing happened when I turned the ignition switch. my starter is dying. :(
I bought a high torque starter to put in my 81 euro SC. I also bought the "piggy back" terminal splitter and 4 new 10mm washers.
I jacked up my car and placed the passenger's front and rear wheels on 4.5'' blocks of wood. I plan on removing the heater hose first before removing the starter. Isn't it guys? Am i missing anything? Seriously i am a lillte worried. For some reason I m a little nervous. Probably lack of confidence and I have to be under the car. :D
It is not a difficult job to tackle right guys?

Enjoy and report back with pictures when you are done!;)

Don't forget to disconnect the battery before you slide under it.

A long 10mm Allen socket for your 3/8ths ratchet will help make the job go faster. -J

Not difficult but if those are the original nuts you may find it difficult to get sufficient leverage to break them loose. A little penetrant will help if you can see where you are aiming.

You just might run a OO wire to it whilest there....tie a string to the old one as you pull it out,,,then you have help snaking it back in

Snap a picture with your phone so you remember the wire configuration... I had good luck removing mine pay using penetrant oil, then tightening slightly, then loosening... A trick I picked up from this board when I removed my heat exchangers.... And extensions, yes....
