For me the starter connections were the worst part. Heh. I decided to just drop it, but when I tried to remove the lower bolt, the one that holds the hook that holds the positive cable as it crosses over from the passenger side, the first twist ended up bending that hook and wrapping it partially around my socket.
The bolt looks like it has two nuts on it, the hook slid on between them, so I thought the first nut would just come off, but it was only coming off with the whole bolt (at the expense of the hook). I ended up having to cut that hook off with some metal cutters. I currently have some wire preforming the function of that hook and holding the positive cable up.
The second bolt wouldn't budge at all. So I eventually had to look at things from topside more closely, felt around from underneath a bit better until I understood things better (I haven't worked on any starters that I can recall), then disconnected everything nicely, and put the new cable on. Pretty easy. Heh.
I got the NAPA cables, but the negative cable is shorter than I would have liked. I could have used another two inches in the section that goes from the frame to the motor, and another two inches in the section that goes from the frame to the battery. As it is things are very tight. Makes me nervous.
But overall the job was pretty easy.
