starter motor

you will find it easy as your arms are skinnier, Your dads arms/hands are probably too big.

Only thing that makes it hard is the confined space you have to undo the bolts in.

Just follow what pete just wrote

Yeah, I've got a flexi joint socket it thats a help

Well that's cool cause there are 2 wires to undo :clap
Best way to experience is to do the job. Honestly it's a piece of piss.
Jack up the truck, stick it on a brick or two ( axle stand if you're gay), wheel off, inner rubber mat off, battery earth off, then undo the wires off the starter, undo the 2 bolts. lift the starter up through the engine bay, this is the most difficult bit actually Oil up the bolts for an easy return , then reverse process with the new starter.

Agreed , though the wheel arch is the easiest way . Didn't jack mine up when I done mine

Sorry for confusion. I was agreeing that its easier to get to though the arch but has to come out though the bonnet

He would get his hair wet... takes weeks for it to dry again...

When I got my first car, I think I spent practically every other night fixing something, come rain, snow or cold, as it was the only way I was going to get to work in the morning, and it was like no sooner had I fixed one thing, than something else broke. I was usually at the breakers yard during my lunch hour removing the bit I was going to need that night as well.

I remember changing, Starter motor, Alternator, rear suspension bushes (They were pigs) Ball joints (continually), wheel bearings, CV's and drive shafts, power steering rack, suspension displacers, exhaust system (Stupidly one section at a time, so by the time I had replaced the last bit, the first bit was gone again) and goodness knows what else, all the time, while I was also trying to personalise it and make it look smart as well.

Starter Motor, Paaahhhh, we would fit those during lunch time, and still have time to pop up the staff club for a shandy..:doh
