Re: Threaded Post On Delco Starter

Dear Packard Friends,

The only way I could get to the top bolt fastener of the starter was to remove three base bolts from the top-mounted solenoid..I was then able to wiggle the solenoid out of position enough to get a narrow wrench on the fourth and final attaching bolt of the solenoid. Once I got that loose and removed the solenoid, I now have a basically clear shot to the top fastening bolt of the starter. Wow, that was difficult but satisfying.

I'm gonna take up the Flackmaster's offer on an older style starter core and see if that makes life easier.

PS..does anyone know of a 6v high torque mini starter for sale for the six-volt 54 Clipper. I know it's not original, but I'm more into driving than originality.

Thanks again for all your help and suggestions.

Warren
