O ya.. The starter isnt even tryin to I know its not bound.. I can turn the truck over easy w a flathead screwdriver on the flywheel.. I just got outside.. I'm going to make a fire and what not and check it out some more.. I'm going to get my power probe out and see if that helps.. I cant find my damn volt meter or multimeter.. My Mustang is tore down to the shell rt now in here and just to keep stuff in order ive got a huge mess let alone the work in the bravada in here has made me dolly the stang outside in the snow.. So this truck has to gtfo of here!

yeah having two cars down sucks. i am getting spring fever for the stang. i stocked up suspension parts all winter...waiting to get warm so i can rip into it. control arms, lowering springs, caster plates, the whole deal. last part in my poor man restoration.

If its unbolt and the bolts are removed it should basiclly fall out.

Hmmm, maybe jack it up more or lower to get some clearance. Are the power wires disconnected

oh getting the starter out of that hole was an absolute bitch for me - it does come out, but in ONE position only - took me like 1/2 hour dicking around with it to find it. best i can describe is to shove the *** end back over the axle, tip down to the floor and i think the soleniod points toward the hole the thing came out of.

Its been awhile and its a fuzzy memory coming through a slightly blind rage at the time but i hope it helps
