ok i got the 2 small bolts out but i cant get the big bolt on the top out which way do i turn the bolt

 

long extensions and turn it counter clockwise.

 

yeah it's hard the first time you do it, but every time in the future will be much easier. You have to use a combination of extensions, might even need to borrow some from a friend to make the right length. It has to be pretty long, but not too long or it will hit something else, there's a small range that works. I also use a u-joint at the ratchet end.

 

It is (or should be) the same size bolt. I have a combination of 3/8" extensions that puts the ratchet just at the end of the starter for excellent travel. She can be a bear the first time, but you'll get it figured out. Try getting a Sidwewinder turbo off while it is still in the truck!!!!!!!!!!

 

that is easy Mac, leave it bolted to the pedestal, and unbolt the pedestal from the head!!!

 

ok i got the bolt out but now i cant get the starter out of the truck it gives a little but it wont come out

 

You get this out yet? All three bolts the same length. You may have to turn/twist it a bit.

 

or try putting one in lmao.
tight little buggers.bad memories.
