I will appreciate any information on how to get and remove the top 10mm bolt that holds the Starter on a 4.6 V-8 Lincoln Towncar. The other 2 bolts are reachable from underneath the car. I dont know if the top bolt could be reached with a Restricton 10mm Wrench (a curved wrench in the shape of 1/2 moon), or by other means.. because there is very little space to move any handle or wrench, or use like a series of u-joints, small extensions or what have you..I have seen some post indicating on other forums that you have to remove the exhaust "Manifold", and that by itself is a big chore, others says you need to remove the A/C Compressor, while others indicated removal of the INTAKE manifold and the wiper cowl cover? Really?
Why would Ford make such a nasty tight design on this car? After all, Starters eventually fail and needs replacement.
I am looking for an easier way to remove it than the above suggested.
