Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator May 12, 2009, 2:25 PM Post #2 of 8 (5043 views) Re: starter bolt removal Sign In You can usually access them with a 6 point socket and an extension long enough to reach past the back of the starter. Sometimes it's easier with an even longer one that reaches past the crossmember. Make sure the socket is on securely because that bolt will round off easily and then you have big problems. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. way2old Veteran / Moderator May 12, 2009, 4:24 PM Post #3 of 8 (5038 views) Re: starter bolt removal Sign In I use an indexable head ratchet to go around the starter. Hammer has the easiest and cheapest way. Since most people have an extension and ratchet.

I have a plastic handle Matco that I use all the time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. skidoo340 New User May 12, 2009, 4:40 PM Post #5 of 8 (5024 views) Re: starter bolt removal Sign In thanks hammer and thanks way2old I have been fighting it for hours with a long extension. tomorrow I will pick up a sorter one and make sure i have a six point socket. thank you way2old Veteran / Moderator May 12, 2009, 4:50 PM Post #6 of 8 (5017 views) Re: starter bolt removal Sign In You will also find out that after it breaks loose, you can remove it with your fingers, That really P---es you off.
