So im removing the starter on my brothers contour. Easy peasy right? Wrong. got everything out of the way, removed the firewall side bolt no problem. Go to the front one which i have to say.... is the most idiotic design ever (thanks again ford...) Anyways, i removed the battery to get more room, removed the coolant lines and the T-stat to get more room. Tried heat, tried PB blaster, No matter how much torque i put on that stupid bolt... it wont come off. I tried using a gear wrench, didnt work. Tried using an open ended wrench and stripped one side of the damn bolt. Now i really have no idea what to do. I think i can heat it up either one more time (remember... this is beside the open fuel rails and fuel lines...) or just giving up and taking it somewhere.
Anyone got any advice on tools to use?
Also, is the bolt 1/2 or 13mm? Seems to work with both.
