Ratchet Pipe
How do I access the top bolt on an 81 Mercury Zephyr 4 cyl.?
I'm trying to remove the starter from this 81 mercury zephyr. The bottom bolt will be a breeze, but the top bolt is blocked by other parts. I'm not sure what this part is, but its the biggest problem. Its about a 1" diameter pipe that's coiled 3 times. It runs from one part of the intake, to other part of the intake and is secured by huge approx. 2" nuts. I don't know what it is so I don't want to remove it. I've tried using all kinds of extentions, elbows, and other little gizmos to connect to a ratchet to be able to break the bolt loose, yet nothing works. I even disconnected the motor mounts and jacked up the motor some to try and get access that way, but my efforts were in vain. Please help.
I have had that exact problem on that exact same car while I run a shop a few years back. I wound up taking a wrench that was the right size (I can't remember the size, I think it was a 1/2 or 9/16), and cutting it to make it short enough to get to it. It was still a bear though to get out. Bad news is that its even worse to get back in.
