Re: IML: Another 1961 Question on the Fly(wheel)

Thanks again, Paul.

Anyone have any insight on removing the starter? The archives weren't any help and the FSM simply has four steps, 1) Disconnect the cable at the battery, 2) Remove the starter cable at the starter, 3) Disconnect the solenoid lead wire from the solenoid, and lastly 4) Remove the bolts attaching the starter to the flywheel housing and remove the starting motor from beneath the engine.

Anything more than that to it?

Does anyone have any tips or techniques? Things NOT to do?

Thanks everyone!
