love how all the post end with "roger". like we are all on a CB radio
this is a stange problem. so the car is positively in neutral? back wheels up in the air? taking out the starter is a piece of cake. one bolt is easy, the other slightly more difficult. you need to hug the tranny so you can get both hands near the bolt to work on it. sounds like your car needs a hug anyways. what city are you in? if you were near me, i would drop in surely. (sorry to call you surely, roger, roger)
