    Starter removal Gen 3 Coupe with coyote motor

    If I had built my coupe instead of purchasing it I would probably know the answer to this. Can the starter be removed from underneath or by removing the passenger foot box panels and reaching through there? I haven’t put it on a lift but it seems like there is little clearance to get at it from underneath.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    A little tight, but the starter is accessible without taking anything apart.

    Were you really able to get it out without removing the Header on that side?

    I didn't figure there was ANY way that was gonna be possible!
