I know that this is a simple job, but i can only seem to get one of the bolts off. theres only 3 bolts that need to come off right? and what sizes are they etc? do you guys use joints or something to be able to get in there and and get these bolts off. i cant seem to get my big *** hands inside there.

 

Remove the transmission dust sheild. Removed the two bolts holding the starter in with a 9/16s socket on an extension. Support the starter and remove the two nuts, 8mm for the small one and i think 13 for the large one. That's all there is to it. It's been a while since i removed one from my car when i had stock manifolds but I don't remember it getting in the way much.

 

Some of the brake lines if i recall needed to be pushed to the side. Nothing a bit of tugging couldnt fix

 

Drop the y pipe and all your worries will go away. Otherwise you will need to buy a 3/8" swivel and some band-aids. The starter bolts (there is only two, not three) are 15 mm.

ya i saw that 2 were holding it up, but i said 3 bc i meant the other bolt that was holding a wire to it.. but i guess theres one above it. i have some type of phobia of getting under cars , i hate it. so i just try to get out as quickly as possilble, i think i have the wrong type of car i guess maybe i'll try to finish this tomrrow, and i thought i used a 14mm to take off oneo f the starter bolts maybe not.

 

14mm and 9/16 are almost identical

 

snakeetinz said 15mm. and i thought i used 14mm.
