I'm not an experience mechanic, but I thought replacing the starter motor should be simple enough...
I was able to get the top bolt and bracket off that hold the starter out except for the bottom one. I was not able to get good access to it so I was using a socket wrench extender to get it from the other end. Once I backed the bolt out a bit the socket became wedged in and stuck. I finally got that back off and tried it from the bottom with a wrench, but with all of the lines in the way there was not much room to maneuver.
All of the books show the engine already out of the body. Surely that is not necessary.
Am I missing a tool or a technique?
Thanks,
