ha! you're not kidding. I'll never forget doing this on my 380SEL 6 or 7 years ago in the middle of january in the driveway. It was below freezing out and I got rust in my eye and hated every minute of it. To make things worse, in my haste I had reconnected the remote wire to the wrong teminal on the solenoid (this one had 2) and the sucker wouldnt engage when I was done! I ended up taking the whole thing back out thinking my new starter was junk before I realized my mistake.
