No need for an impact. Just use the "breaker bar on the frame rail" trick and bump the starter. Pops right off and then just use a ratchet to get it out the rest of the way.
Curious what your low oil pressure problem is though Tim. Keep us posted.

I heard about the breaker bar under the frame trick, but wasnt about to try. Hopefully, this will be the last lpop i mess with for awhile. Back to the pressure, not sure guys, it sits a perfect 5psi when oil is warm. I'm bet'n its on placement of sensor. I did the wood-n-things / Springerpop bypass method, and "T-d" the line there at filter, for the sensor. Beginning to think, that may be the problem. Other than that, without the gauge, one wouldn't know. Glad i got them gauges. When i get back from river, gonna undo the "feed" line to filter, and install gauge there, see whats REALLY goin on....

Not sure on the torque of the 7.3 crank bolt but all it takes is one bad time and you'll be pulling a trans.
Maybe I'm the strange one but I try to do things the right way to avoid extra fun.

Yeah, that works, I also rented a tool from O'Smelly's to press it back on so I didn't have to do the longer bolt method.
