3.

swivel socket and a 22 inch long extension.
Access is in front of, and along side, the right-
hand front engine mount.

It is recommended that wiring service kit
F2PZ-11 K162-A be used, which includes a 70 inch
long #I2 gauge wire, a terminal nut, a terminal cover,
four tie wraps and insulation instructions.
CAUTION: A jumper wire must not be installed
between the large round electrical terminal and the
solenoid blade terminal at the starter, to avoid use
of the #I2 wire. If done, voltage is generated to the
solenoid by the spinning starter after release of
the start key or button, causing the starter to
remain engaged, resulting in failure.
