raise it up on a lift, i have a 1989 dodge ram 50 with a 2.6 liter in it. we had to replace the starter in it, so we raised it up on the lift and used an impact, or a ratchet, with a long extention and a wobbly socket on it to remove it, and it should just fall right outta there, after unplugging the wires on the starter
