1964 - 1966 Barracuda starter removal and installation advice

If I remember correctly you have to turn the steering all the way one way or the other. Then the starter drops out without removing any parts. Not saying it's easy to get to the bolts, but don't have to unbolt the other stuff. Ditto on the Dakota starter. Only way to go.

I agree. I've never had to unbolt the exhaust or raise the motor to get the starter out of my 65 - and I've replaced a few in the 50+ years I've owned it. Top bolt is reached with a long extension and a wobble socket. Can't remember which way to turn the steering, but doing so gets the pitman arm out of the way and lets you drop the starter out.
