M50 starter top nut solved

[bmrfamly <bmrfamly@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Gentlemen
   I'm doing my first clutch job on an M50 motor. I had extreme 
difficulty removing the nut from the top starter bolt.  Once the bolt 
broke loose, the nut would turn with it. With only finger tip contact 
I was able to get the nut off. I knew I could never get the nut 
installed on the bolt, or get a wrench onto the nut for tightening.
   With the tranny & flywheel removed, I "GLUED" the two nuts to the 
front of the starter flange.  The nuts are "setting-up" now, being 
held perfectly centered by a pair of short 10mm bolts.
   Once the top nut was in place, I installed a wrench upon it.  With 
luck, I'll be able to retrieve my wrench after the tranny is in place.
