Swapping starters on a GM has always been a ******* pain.
But you can make it a lot easier.
The worst ***** about it is the wires to the solenoid.
Just pull the cable clamps off of the frame and the battery wires from the battery and pull the starter bolts amd drop the whole damn thing on the ground.
Then you can deal with the little wires.
And you just reverse the process to put it back in.
It really does make it a lot easier.
I also had a simiiar experperiance with the oil cooler delete.
You cant so that its a friggen pain to do etc...
You can drag the oil cooler and its lines from the radiator back in about 15 minutes.
In one piece.
No muss no fuss no ****** around.
Its cake easy.
