I found that by turning the starter just right, one can remove the starter without removing the inlet by snaking it around the inlet and steering column. I know this because I had to pull the starter out of the car because the Bendix jammed up. I pulled the starter, attached the starter cable and the wire connecting the rest of the wiring together with a bolt and wrapped it all up with tape so it wouldn't short on anything. I crank started my truck and drove all over town with no starter on the engine. Whole operation took about 20 minutes to pull. and I did that twice. I finally got a repo Bendix and my problems are all over.
