Have you gotten to the bracket at the motor mount yet? Maybe someone makes a hand crank conversion.

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.
