I definitely don't want there to be any risk of an "uncontrolled descent" of the starter motor once the last bolt comes out since I have to be pretty much directly below it while working. I plan to either run two rope loops or maybe use two ratchet ties down the right side of the engine bay and around the starter motor using the bench as the support system. Someone else had much earlier posted a suggestion for an "across the engine bay" workbench for when you need to get at stuff at the center that's very hard to reach from the edge. I got the recommendation from the RROC-Australia forums to create a sling system for the starter motor. If anyone had tips about how to separate the pipe from the muffler without destroying either (or both) please offer those. I've managed to get the manifold clamp off and the U-clamp at the first muffler, but the pipe has a "death grip" on the muffler from years of having been together and the resulting corrosion. The biggest challenge so far is getting the exhaust system apart so that I can drop the down pipe between the manifold and first muffler so that I can get the starter out. I started yesterday and continued for as long as I could today.
