I have the bottom bolt off, and i have the nut off of the top bolt, which i can't completely removed b/c the starter casing is in the way. But i can slide that bolt back and forth as far as it will go until it hits the front side of the starter cylinder.....so, it's free. i've bumped this thing plenty with a hammer and even used a punch to try to knock it loose, but i can't seem to free it up. I read a "how to" and it said to simply grab the starter with both hands, from underneath, pull back and lower it down. It certainly doesn't seem that easy. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks for your help! dusty. |___|_|_|__\ |___|__-|-__| "(o)-----(o)--" |
