Next get a crayon or something that can be used to mark the drive shaft, so when it is removed it can be put back on in the exact same spot it was before. Remove the drive shaft and set it out of the way. Now remove the starter. Sometimes this can be difficult. The best way to remove it is to have the car in the air.

... with my heart instead of my head. I see a flower for its beauty, not its pistil and stamen. I’m more interested in literature and poetry than science and math. I would rather create photographs than dissect a squid.
That having been said, I doubt if any person is strictly one or the other. The classical self in me has taken apart an old camera body, just to see what was in there and how it worked. If it’s something I’m interested in, I like to know everything about it, not just the pretty and exciting part. I would rather try and figure out a computer program than have someone show me how or r ...

... gentlemen and enthusiasts, the Knickerbocker version was devised by one of their members, Alexander J. Cartwright. Cartwright prescribed a diamond-shaped infield with bases at ninety feet apart, a standard which has stood the test of time. The pitching distance was set at forty-five feet from the home base, and a pitcher was required to "pitch" a ball in a stiff-armed, underhanded fashion. The three-strikes-are-out rule was adopted, and a batter could also be put out by a fielder catching a batted ball in the air, or on the first bounce, or by throwing a fielded ball to the first baseman before t ...

Number of Words: 1885 / Number of Pages: 7
... He claims that as society becomes more integrated and complex, organizational elites come to be more dependent on specialists and experts, or bureaucracies to advise and influence them on decisions. Bureaucracies are groups of individuals doing specialized tasks which blend into a cohesive and efficient unit. Power becomes increasingly centralized within bureaucracies and the elites who control them because as they grow, becoming more powerful, they use that power to gain more control over the masses. Weber saw the historical development of societies as a movement toward rational forms of organiza ...

... or may provide work for those potentially unemployed (Perlow 46). In some cases, the choice may be between shift work and no work at all.

of decoration. These buildings were meant for eating quickly, and then leaving,

... but most scientists however, refuse to believe any creature of this
kind lives in the Loch Ness. They claim that most reported cases are
simply products of overactive imaginations, and as for the pictures,
scientists say they are not lucid enough to distinguish items clearly,
