Changing Starter on 87 Lesabre

[ropergilson]

Im about to replace the starter on the car, I took a look at where it is, and it would appear to be stuck between a part of the frame and the manifold. Is there some trick to removing the starter on this car? It looks like it would come out easy if the manifold was removed, but the bolts are just rust and im pretty sure they will break if I try to remove them. Any help would be appreciated.

On my 87 T-Type, I did have to remove the exhaust manifold to get to the starter. A simple solution that MIGHT work is to take the manifolds from an 88-91 and swap them, considering they don't dip down as far.
