Hello,
I'm trying to pull the starter for a 1999 Mercruiser 4.3L: I can get to one of the bolts easy enough, but the other one is so close to the flywheel shroud that I can't get a socket around it. I've tried to use a wrench, but the bolt is in too tight and the wrench just slips off. (I've hit it with WD40, but that didn't loosen it enough).
Is there a way of getting to the bolt without needing to pull the engine?
Thanks,
-V
