I had to use every 3/8" extension in the tool box (several feet of them ,T om was amazed and might have measured it) and the longest flex handle to crack it loose , then I was able to unscrew that ding-dang bolt , the car was off the ground so I had plenty of space under it behind the tranny and I tuned the air blue in three counties before the job was done .
FWIW , the _only_ reason we won WWII was because we had more of everything , kids , guns , Jeeps and so on .

> Trying to get the top bolt out of the starter. I am ready to take a torch to the tranny tunnel if someone can not give me a better way.(and I am serious) Really, you guys think these cars are brilliant pieces of engineering?
> I have been working on cars for over 35 years. I can replace a chevy starter in less than 15 minutes and be enjoying a cold one in 20. I have worked on this for 5 hours. cut two allens, chopped up a good 10mm wrench then twisted it into a pretzel and still it does not move.

> Whoever designed a starter with allen bolts is a moron. Give me one good reason that an allen is necessary. No wonder we won WWII.
