Could anybody tell me if the starter relay on a 93' RRC is in the same place as on the 95' RRC?

The "rave" (only tech book I have right now) only shows 95' classics even though the pic on the cover (electronic cover) shows a much older classic. The ravey shows the relay on the passenger side footwell (that's NAS passenger side).

Also, is there any trick for getting that top hex bolt off on the starter. I can get the bottom off easily but the top one is being a bitch.....tried a long extension and my Dewalt cordless impact and could not budge it.......think I gotta get out the 1/2 impact?

cheers,
Thom

Leverage is your friend. Use a breaker bar with a long lever. I know the feeling. The first time I was lying in a parking lot just following a 200 mi. trail run in the rain. I had just about everything falling in my eyes and getting wet. I didn't think it would ever come loose. Good luck. No trick, just factory tight. I think the starters will work on any year of classic. They look different with different motor styles but work the same. We put the one from the '75 on the '91 I was driving and bump started the '75 to get home.
