You will note that it is a long mounting bolt (14mm head) that DOES NOT need to be completely screwed out. The mounting bracket on the relay is slotted and will slip out when the bolt is loosened. IF the part you buy has a mounting hole, simply clip the ends as in pic StarterRelay4.
Bosch part# 0332204150
Autozone part# 19861
Carquest part# RY115
And I fully agree--WHY do the bandaid fix instead of the REAL fix???? Uses the same part.

Great information Lee! Thank you!!!
To answer your question, we all went to the bandaid fix because we wanted to start our cars and
no one on this form had a clue what the story was on the circuit so some of us designed an excellent way to get the car started.
I will certainly replace the correct part on my 2 cars now that I know what to do.
Changing the correct part will last longer than the mod as well because starting the car with the correct part will not involve relay contacts that arc when the ignition switch is turned to start!
With the old mod, the relays have a short lifespan if the car is started a lot.
Thanks again, Lee!
