I need to change out the starter on my 3.1 1995 lumina apv, any hints on this, looks like a hard one to get at.

Just did it on my 96 olds silohette, not to bad. First remove the plastic shield around the flywheel end of the starter. Then you have to have a 5/8" end wrench to get the bolt above the frame crossmember, (A ratcheting box end wrench would probobly make this alot easier, worth the cost of buying one) other than that a 5/8" socket with a 6" extension for the other bolt. Remove the bolt above the frame first, and be sure you install the new starter with that bolt already in the starter, no way to install it once the starter is in there.
