    Anyone have any tricks to get that pesky top 13mm bolt from the starter? I got the one at 6 and 3 but can't get the one at 12 o'clock. Any help/tips on how to get to that bolt would be great. I'm using a 3/8 ratchet w/ an elbow and still can't seem to get to it and my exhaust is completely removed except the passenger header. Thanks!

    If it's anything like the top starter bolt on a 7.3 PowerStroke,
    I used a 20 inch extension.

    Ugh I think I remember using 2 back to back last time w/ a long extention and 2 extentions to almost be 20" to clear a space for the wrench to swing. Looks like I'm goin to sears for a 2nd elbow :facepalm:
