removing the starter from a 2000 explorer

[trixluck]

anyone successfully done this, or know where i can find a diagram or
something online for this thing? in trying to save money, we are
replacing our starter ourselves. weve unbolted it but we cant wedge it
out. ive looked all over the internet, but i cant find anything.

thanks.

Sometimes you just have to keep trying different positions and angles
till you get the right one and starters slip right thru. I've had a
couple cars like that - seemed like there was NO WAY to get the
starter out but after rotating and turning it every which way I found
a way that worked.
