[AT] Ford Jubilee/NAA starter removal

[Dave Merchant]

I have several NAA books including a reprint of the original Ford shop manual.

None of them describe how to get the starter off, but ominously,
the directions for a complete engine teardown say to remove the
oil filter, then the starter, in that order.

Too dark to go out and look at my NAA tonite.

Keep this on list, we all might learn something.
