Can't help much with your problem but just wanted to say I feel for you. Getting a shagged starter motor off mine was bad enough earlier and I had a stud let go while I was undoing it.

So we are both fecked from rust. Hoping to get a replacement for mine tomorrow and get mobile again.

Good luck with yours - I hope you get sorted as soon as... (http://www.bandit127.com/oof_stuff/images/thumbs-up.gif)
