starter

Hi everyone, have a bugger or a time getting the starter out. Any known tricks or advice would be greatly appriciated! Thanks

Have you gotten all three bolts off the starter? The top one can be difficult to locate. It's on the top part of the bellhousing. I ended up using a swivel socket and two long extensions attached to the ratchet to get it loose...oh, and a few Italian cuss words come in handy, too.

I just finished replacing the starter on mine. Once you get the three bolts off the best way to get it out is from underneath the car... Just make sure to turn the steering wheel all the way to the right. This should move the center link over far enough to wiggle it out (Thanks Jason for the tip!!). Good luck!

Thanks, got it out with no scraped knuckles (that's a 1st!0) But boy, do I need to learn Italian!
