Undoing the 13mm nut from the starter took 20 minutes. I could see the starter from underneath but could only put one arm at a time to get to it and have to do it blind too. I used a 1/4" drive ratchet / 13mm socket to loosen the nut with every three clicks on the ratchet since there's not much room. Dropped the ratchet many times and have to place it back on the nut, very frustrating (cursed many times too).
The prep time took the most.
- Put the car on 4 ramps
- Removed the positive cable from B+ only. (not from battery)
- Removed the air box and ducts to get to the alternator nut
- Removed 13mm nut from back of alternator
- Removed the bottom stiffening plate six(6) 16mm nuts
- then do above to remove starter 13mm nut
Note: I tied strings on the each cable's eyelets (alternator side and B+ side) before removing both cables to help "fish" it back. Total of 4 hrs from start to finish.
Also cancelled the order for the two cables.
