[QUOTE="graysummers, post: 161766, member: 13185"] Got the axle stands onto those torsion tubes and it was a bit of a tight fit next to the hand brake metal housing tubes and bracket, but the van's as solid as a rock. Got concrete blocks under the jacking points too just in case. That upper starter D-Bolt is a nightmare. It won't shift. I need a long ratchet 17mm ring spanner I think. Got a lovely bruise on the right arm and nothing to show for it. The wire/ring connecter on the solenoid bolt from live battery wire snapped too. So rusted the whole thing won't turn. 37 years old and reluctant to leave home I reckon. Wants to stay with Momma Bus. There are two red wires to the spade connectors and my new starter motor and solenoid has only one flat connector but with a tiny flat connector joined at right angles. Is this right ? Oh well ! Tomorrows another day. [/QUOTE]
