Hi new to the form. Trying to get the starter off. How do I get to the third bolt and do I need to take off the fuel pump to slide out the starter? My starter has both battery cables going to it. I would like to short out the selenoid but not sure which bolts to bypass it. With the key off there is a full battery voltage at the terminals on the starter. When trying to start the voltage goes down to almost nothing. Is that normal? If I can try the starter while its on the unit I could rule it out or know it needs replacement. I believe the unit is a 1980-1983. Its just a 555 no letters after it. 3 cyl diesel. Its at such a bad location I can't even make out what connections are on the solenoid. I do not have the shop manual. I really could use some help. I have serviced this baby for 11 years, I would hate to have to pay someone to come fix it. I don't have many qualified ford guys around me and the one gets $00 just to show up.
Thanks,
Phil
