Hi Guys
I have a 55 Buick Special, its been my project for a couple years, but lately the starter is giving me a tough time engaging. You'll hear the starter just spin but not the engine, then after a bunch of tries it will crank the engine but then kick out just as its about to start. I ordered a NOS starter drive, new solenoid, and a set of brushes off eBay, they should be here any day. How hard is it to get the starter out, is anything in the way? My car was parked from 73 until 09 when I got it and its bone stock, like most things are from 1955 even some hoses. So I'm a little leery about dropping the 66 year old exhaust or anything. Who has done it before and how bad was it? Im hoping its like 70s GM's and I can do it in less than an hour.
