67 mustang

Does anyone have any tips or tricks for getting starter out?
I have got the first (most accessible) bolt out but the second bolt seems to be up there is a spot that I can't turn a standard ratchet.
what a rough spot for that second bolt!
Also wondering if anyone has any tips for removal and replacement of bulbs (specifically signals) wow the housing is just about deeper than the bulb making it impossible to grasp the bulb to turn it into or out of place! Total pain!!!!

I want to say you have to remove the gauge cluster to get to the lights. Pretty much the only way to do it. I'd recommend doing all of them since you're taking it out, of course... ounce of prevention and all that.

Use spark plug wire pliers with rubber coated jaws to grab the bulb and push down and twist. First try to gently push the bulb in and out to free it up.

Thanks again for the replies.
Just couldn't seems to get these bulbs in! Ended up using a hose to hold the bulbs in place and push them in, the hose is very good for turning the bulbs in place too.
