    Took me under 1/2 hour changing the starter on the ute the other day, lucky it's a '79 with the flip back bonnet and 9/16 hex bolts to the block. Did it from above with a ring spanner.

    Glad you got it all done - You should have called me - I had already cut down an allen key to do the job.

    If you think that was hard, wait a while and something really difficult will pop its ugly head up for you to go insane about...

    If you ever need a hand, sing out. - Cheers - Gav.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.
