Well, my battery checked out, so it appears my starter has gone tits up.
I have been trying to get the thing out of the car, using the AutoZone instructions and the Ford CD. How does one actually get to the bolts to remove them? I have the air box and tube out, and I've pulled the air cleaner support bracket. The fuel lines aren't apparently attached to anything. Now I have a rat's nest of coolant and fuel lines in there, and I can *just* reach the front starter bolt with a gear wrench, but not reach it well enough to actually turn the wrench.
Has anyone got some pointers on how to reach the starter bolts? And how to get the damn things inserted again to install the new starter? Thanks.
