Fuious with Starter

[Vass325es]

I have been so frustrated with starter. I didnt realized that everything is tight and couldnt allow me to loose the bolt to remove starter. Anyone can instruction me how to do that?

Thanks. :?

keep trying it'll come it's a bitch, there's 4-5 bolts if i remember right, 2 on top 2 on bottom plus the bracket at the front. also if you remove air box it makes things easier, but you've probably already got it out of the way....

one bolt on top one on bottom, yeah take air box, out you should be able to crawl up underneath the car and get a 17 on the front and back and get that bolt loose the one on the top you might need a long extension and another person to hold the bolt from the front while you turn with the extension from the back, shouldn't be too bad, flashlight will probably be needed.

Just disconnect you battery, then unbolt the wires to the starter. There are two bolts that hold the starter on. One person goes under the car with some extentions and a socket and loosens the bolt, while one person holds onto the nut in the engine bay with another socket wrench.

It's a pain in the ass the first time you do it, but it's not too hard once you do it a few times.

Get out air box? Air box have so many bolts to remove? I dont think so..

I remember watching Crivellone do this on his car one night. All I really remember is that it was a bitch to do and it took a lot of extensions and wobellies. Just keep trying it from different angles. Sooner or later it has to come out. I believe it took James a few hours. More than he thought it would.

buy a 36" Extension and maybe even drop the driveshaft and go in from the top of the tranny that is the "easy" way, its bad but not too bad.
