No, you have to use a socket with a rachet from under. Disconnect the battery first. You may have to stand on your head for a while.

On the 3.0 engine the starter motor has an extra support, a small angled casting between the block and the housing. If it has been wet, the nuts may be difficult to remove without breaking the stud on the block. Use penetrating oil! A midget with strong arms would be very useful for such jobs.

I think you are missing the point. I think--he means room to jiggle it out of the housing, he asked if he needs to remove the pump. Im unfamiliar with the engine but if it helps, then remove it, 2 pipes and 2 nuts.

Depending on the stringers and engine mounts you may have to remove the pump. I would first take the starter off and try to slide it under the engine.

Don't be too happy --you have to get it back in. Tie a piece of rope around it and pull it through and up.
