since no one else took a stab at it. i cant remember if its 13 or 15mm i just did one last week too and cant recall exactly. go under there with a 13 14 and 15 mm as well as a 6inch extension to get through the trans lines and you should be all good

also the big wire should be a 13mm and the small wire will either be a 8 or 10mm so bring those too

Thank's buddy, the two that hold the starter, because they are shouldered bolts the 14 and 15 both work, triger is an 8 and a real bitch I might add. Going to put a plug in line on that. I was real lucky the starter was still the long type but it came down easy with just some gentle twists.
Thank's again!

sometimes they come out sometimes they dont. i think its cause they are such a tight fit if your motor mounts are bad or starting to go bad that 1/8th of a inch can make all the difference in the world. did one on a 2wd blazer the other day. that was even easier

You might be right rabbit, the mounts are only four years old replaced when I did a motor transplant.
