By the way, Larry, Hassle looks beautiful.  I was on the race  committee 
for the Border Run last night and watched you cross the finish  line.  Nice to 
see C38s racing.  There were two others in the race but  they finished 
during the night.  Did you get snagged in the kelp beds off  Point Loma?

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.
