Just remove the starter when you get to the hardware store and take it with you to measure the threads for the nut. Then you'll only have to go under the truck twice!
Oh, don't forget to disconnect the batteries first!

I'm ashamed to say I'm not sure. I have been looking for comparison pictures t no avail. I do see the different brackets photographed in this thread, so I suppose I can crawl under and see which bracket I have if all else fails.Which starter do you have? Direct drive or gear reduction?
THAT'S the picture I was looking for -- I knew I'd seen it! I have a direct drive starter and support bracket. Thank you!!!Gear reduction on the left and direct drive on the right
That's been bugging me too. My prevailing theory is that perhaps there was some sort of geometric issue going on with the extensions and the u-joint I had in there to get my torque wrench on the bolt way up in that hole that let it overtorque without clicking. Another advantage to using my plain old ratchet next time is that it's small enough to get up in there without needing all that junk.The bolt broke with 33 ft/lbs? Even a low grade bolt should handle that, perhaps it was the wrong pitch or there was something wring with the threads in the block. I also just use a small ratchet and tighten it by hand.
