Finally The Removal Of The Corvair Starter Barely An Inconvenience 

thanks. I just bought a '60 Corvair. This is very helpful

I seem to recall taking the contact stud on the solenoid and rotating it 180 degrees for a quick fix !

I just went out to my '64 sedan, and I think there are a couple of differences from this coupe that will make things harder. First, the sedan has a squared off wheel opening, not the round arch of the coupe. Next, the '64 has the transverse leaf spring, and I'm guessing that the axle doesn't drop down as far. Next, my heater hose is still in place, and even when detached doesn't move very far out of the way. I'm not saying you couldn't get the starter out, but not the way you did in this video. It would probably have to go downwards with the accelerator linkage disconnected. Still, I appreciate the video because when I got in there for the first time, I knew what I was looking at. I was mainly there to replace that piece of rubber fuel line hose, but my starter does need to come out and be serviced.

I'm sorry I meant 5/16 not 15/16

If the selenoid was the problem - of course you probably need the starter rebuilt anyway .

The oddball nut on the solenoid switch wire is an 11/32"
