Just for the record, I did change out my starter and that was the problem. Not being a very mechanical guy, it took me about and hour to get the starter out, but only 15 minutes to put the new one back in. I do know that ALL the bolts I had to remove were each a different size, as I had to change to a different socket for each one (the top bolt, bottom bolt, and the cable wire nut). I never looked at the measurements, but the sockets I used were from a standard set, so I do not think they were E-sockets, and still don;t really know what an E socket is.

 

in order from left to right: 12 point, hex, E socket, Torx socket

 

glad you got it fixed tho! good to hear!

 

Glad I got it fixed too, and without those craxy looking "e" and "torx" sockets!!
