well 2 people at 2.5hrs got the starter off. damn that was a project. ended up using 3/8 ratchet with 3 extenions and swivel adapter. what a b*tch. the write up i found made it sound so simple. no idea how im gonna get the bolts back in lol.
anyways, took to autozone and test passed which sucks cause we broke off a rusted bolt and nut off electrical hookup side. so guy asked if i wanted to test again.2nd and 3rd test FAIL!! so thats a good thing. went ahead and bought one of their duralast ones since it comes with lifetime warranty.
i know its gonna be a mess trying to put this thing back on. may try and get my buddies impact gun to put at end of these extensions for when i get bolts back in and tightened up some. will know Friday if this thing starts back up now. then i can buy this guys damn truck.

But make sure you tighten all the bolts before trying to start the truck... (Haha I used to work at a parts store it happened so many times, a person wanted to see if the starter worked before tightening everything. Them crack the casting snaps or breaks.... Haha)
