![]() yep that is the crazy bolt that i had to fight with for like 2 hours. i had to use a real big extension, put it through the front and my father in law was on the other side putting the socket on by just feel. and i had to turn the rachet on the other side. it was a mess and it was real hot that day but we finally got it done. kmauldin we will have to get together on other issues about our stangs. you know we will probably run into other issues lol

![]() I hope you did not put the top bolt back in........the starter works fine without it.

![]() yep i sure did put it back in. actually when i went to take the old one off, apparently the person that had my car before me didnt put that bolt back in themselves lol but yeah my father in law machanis said that it would be more stable to put the top one in.

![]() If I left that bolt out, it would be my luck that one of the other one's would break and the starter would fall out while I'm going down the highway.
