So I took to searching youtube for any video showing a ZQ8 3.5 starter removal, and of course theres nothing i could find other than a 4x4 and a standard height colorado showing the driver side fender access proceedure. Clearly even though its tight on the 4x4 and the standard chassis, its not even remotely possible with the ZQ8 package. The frame and chassis is crunched together so tight with this chassis that starter access is impossible from fender well.
DOES ANYONE have any link to anyone who has removed a starter from a factory lowered ZQ8 suspension model colorado?

This may not be what you want to hear, but in the 2004 GM Service Manual, under "Starter Replacement", the first step is: "Remove Intake Manifold".

Some Owner's may have a way to work around that, as I haven't heard of a lot of guys pulling the intake to change a starter.
