Starter effin motor

[langtounboy]

I've just spent the last 4 hours trying to undo the top nut on the starter motor. Still refuses to budge help please before I end up the truck.

to make it worst

when i went to jack the truck using the bottle jack the 2nd part of the handle that connects to the jack was missing.

are these jacks and handles only in a hilux or is there any other car i can look for at the scrap dealers?

back to the starter motor, what tool, socket, spanner combination have you used to remove the top nut on the starter motor.

I managed to get on it but couldn't break the tension

Get a wee blowtorch and burn the git off, a bit of heat frees even the most stubborn nuts for me.
