AutoZone cannot get me a starter. They cancelled the order because its not available... would have been nice to know earlier. I have one on order from Parts America (Shipping out of Phoenix) $200 and $70 core. I can return the core to a local store.

Does anyone know is the lower bolt can be reached from the front of the engine? I am thinking about removing the access panel behind the seats and using long extensions across the top of the engine to tighten the lower bolt. Anyone tried this?
