FE starter replacement

[SteveC]

i just will keep my mouth shut on that one

[DuckRyder]

I just sit behind the tire and get it through the fender well.

Of course it is all clean and probably easier with a mini starter...

I have a short, 6 point SK socket and a 6 inch extension that is the right length so the rachet just clears the end of the starter. I also have about 1 inch piece of 5/8 heater hose glued to the racjet end of that extension so once the bolt is broken loose, I can spin it out with my fingers. Don't do that hon-yocker thing and leave the hardest bolt until last, get it out first.

... hon-yocker...

[DuckRyder]

noun: one who lacks respectability or social graces; one prone to exhibiting frequent displays of the screaming yips*


*noun: a condition, in which a person or animal spontaneously lurches into spasmodic movements consistent with a baby calf which appears to be kicking with its hind legs at a swarm of flies which aren't there; vocalization that is sharp and loud accompanies this action. The duration of this condition is seconds to minutes.

or

Old north West cowboy slang for a failed homestead farmer. Almost as bad as calling a cowboy a sheep herder.Cattle people never liked homesteaders and all their barbed wire fences.

[FLATBEDFORD]

Thanks. We don't have homesteaders or cowboys where I come from. But we do have plenty of people who lack respectability or social graces; and are prone to exhibiting frequent displays of the screaming yips.

I just used my fingers for most of it and a wrench to finish it
