Replacing starter - 3 bolts
I am new to repairs, and have limited tools. I have a 360 motor, and 3 bolts on the starter I need to replace. I have heard that the 3rd bolt in the 12:00 position is going to be a challenge to get to. Anyone have any advice on what tools to use (socket extension length, etc. - I do have a full socket set)? Is it really difficult to get to?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Take a 3/8' drive ratchet with one 6" and one 3" extension and your socket (either 1/2" or 9/16") .. With the battery disconnected slide the coupled extensios and socket in from the back of the starter until you engage the bolt head .. Now couple your 3/8' drive ratchet to the extensions and turn counter clockwise to remove the bolt
