'96 Century general project thread

It has the new style, installed by the PO. The problem is one of the two bolts is largely inaccessible due to the subframe being in the way. I've done the job in the past, and it sucked majorly, but I really don't feel like it this time.

It's been a long time, but doesn't the newer style starter use a shorter bolt too? I've swapped many a-body starters over the years and agree that it's no fun. But the last one (over 10 years ago) I did, I swapped in a newer starter and the install was a breeze. I'll never install the older style starter again.

Yeah, one long, one short, and the long one is on the rear. Which is why it's so difficult, and I'm willing to pay someone else to do it.

Speaking of, the mechanic came and did the starter this morning, and good thing he did. The yellow sedan suddenly sprung a coolant leak on my way home from work today. So I'm back in black. I will investigate the leak this weekend, though I don't know if y'all want me to post about it here since it's Buick V6 powered.
