Subject: [C38] Starter removal


I'm trying to remove my starter to have it rebuilt. It doesn't crank the engine very fast anymore. I usually have to have the battery switch on BOTH to get enough power to start. I removed the alternator in hopes of getting to the top nut on the starter. The nut is in such a tight spot and the way the starter is shaped you can't get a straight shot at the nut. I tried to get to it from behind the engine but the selenoid is in the way to use an open end wrench. Has anyone been successful with some type of a deepwell socket or maybe had a regular wrench bent to get to it?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks, Dan #108.
