Can't you just plug the battery in, and the starter wire, then take a screw driver and bridge the positive battery cable on the starter to the solenoid spade, make pretty sparks and get the nut off.

Also, it could be the air hose you are using. A smaller diameter one acts just like an oil restrictor for a turbot. Get a better hose, try again. Just borrow, don't buy, I should say. All you need it for is one nut.

If you're messing with it this weekend then I could come hand tools or bring you a beer or something. :)

Spent a massive 20 minutes on the car today woot. Ended up hooking up most of the harness again to get the starter to turn over; two pops and the crank pulley bolt came loose! Just as I got the pulley off Anna came out and reminded me I was supposed to be helping with other stuff, gah. Ended up working the rest of the night for work, boo.

Fuk it will deal with it all this weekend.

Nice. Always feels good to get over a hurdle.

LOL a really basic and simple hurdle. The biggest hurdle for me is finding time to even touch the car. I couldn't find the T55 socket (long skinny one not short and stubby) described in the howto for pulling the stock headbolts os I hope what I have will work, otherwise I'm just pulling the longblock/trans all as one tomorrow.

Enough whining, no more updates till I have carnage pics.
