Unhappy starter bolts

Does anyone know how many bolts there are to remove a starter for the 1998 Expy?

I assume that you are talking about a 5.4?

if so, there are 3 but you can only feel the one located on the flange above the the starter motor.
I used a flex socket, and two extensions with a universal joint between them.

Of course with a lift, this may be an easy task, but I was on my back on the side of the highway.

Talking Done

To replace the starter in the Expy 5.4 you will need couple of extentions and rachets and a few band-aids to get to the 3 bolts.

Don't forget to check the starter relay also.

Took me 2.5 hours in the cold on the ground in snow with no lift or jacking up the vehicle.

Thank you for the help / info
