Replacing Starter Motor

Post by Daniel2019 »

Is it just pull off the negative battery lead and simply unscrew/unbolt the starter or is it a little more difficult than it looks?

You need to give it a good wiggle, and maybe remove or loosen the front exhaust manifold.

Disconnected the battery, disconnected the wire to the starter motor and got the first bolt off..

However I cant find the second bolt? Is it right on the starter motor or is it on a bracket or similar?

Nevermind, got the prick out. Had to loosen exhaust bolts as Supp said. Was a bit annoying but got there.
