Replace a starter on a F 150 before I pulled the bottom bolt with no problem BUT the top bolt took me most of the day to pull and it was stripped and I couldn't get the 1/2 socket to stay on. I ended up using a pair of channel locks to loosen it and went from there. The starter wire connector was rusted and fell off as well

Just yesterday Marton had to change out the starter in his Jeep. One of his bolts was stripped too. I had to change mine in my 64 comet. That was pretty much cake tho. No 'stuff' in the way.
