It's starting to snow out so it gave me an excuse to come in for
awhile.

I'm one bolt away from removing the starter so that I can replace it
and that one bolt (the one on the passenger side that's in a spot
about the size of a pygmy gnat's crotch .

You know, the one where there isn't enough room to get the head of a
ratchet in let alone any fingers ?

My last attempt before coming in involved an 1/2"-to-3/8" socket
reduction adapter onto a flex-head 3/8" ratchet with a 4" extension,
and then twisting and turning the whole schmozzle into the little
space but then couldn't get in there with my fingers to align the
socket with the head of the bolt. Dang!

I had a look in the archives to see how others have solved the problem
and there was one fellow who posted a message saying that he used a
122" (that's one-hundred and twenty-two inch) extension on the
ratchet.

122 inches ? That can't be right can it ?

In any case, I was wondering if anyone else had any tricks or tips to
offer before I head out to town to see if I can get a 122" extension ?

Thanks in advance.

the other end of a 122" extension.)
