Anytime you want to test your "skill" in changing a starter in under 15
minutes on a 93 Sentra on your back with no air tools , I'll put up a grand
at 3to1 odds against that says you can't do it.
I can get a car and a starter for ya anytime you want, heck I'll even let ya
put it on a lift if ya want.
