I did this over the last 3 months, 3 times. Make sure your rebuild is a good one. If you have an axle lock you must remove the 1/2 shaft. You can get to the upper bolt from the engine compartment. the problem comes in attaching the battery cable. There are 2 different lengths of starters. They very by only 1/4" make sure you get the right one. Eric 86-VW4x4 vw4x4@fyi.net 72-240z Pittsburgh, PA USA 1936-Chrysler
