Re: 1992 Buick Park Avenue won't start - funny noise

WE DID IT!!!
CMan, your instructions with socket and wrench sizes were EXTREMELY helpful. We got a rebuilt starter at Autozone (lifetime warranty) for around $100, and we get $20 of that back when we take the old one in. We had to buy 15mm and 18mm sockets and a universal socket - about 16 bucks total for those). So we are getting off on this job for under 100 bucks thankfully. Other than that, my dad had what we needed for the job (including a 1960s model Western Auto battery charger to recharge the battery I'd killed trying to start it). So thank you to all of you that helped us out and saved us a lot of money. It was a dirty, knuckle busting job. WD 40 helped a lot. But after about 5 hours, held breath.... turned key... instant VROOOM!!
Thank you to everyone that helped us. Every penny counts in my house, and you sure are appreciated.
