Okay, who thought this was a good idea?
I went to replace my starter. Done it lots of times with Fords and Chevs, now on my 72 914. Bottom nut is not a problem. 17mm socket .. ya-hoo .. Top bolt .. what the heck?? What's with the two burms on the starter to prevent getting a socket on the bolt??? And I can't get a spanner on it far enough to turn it. Just far enough to flex the span and risk stripping the bolt head. So how much of the car do I have to disassemble to replace the starter? This car IS fun to drive, but with the frustration it has generated .. it's just not THAT fun .. Lonny |

maybe this will help, this is with the engine out of the car. If you can't get to the bolt take off the engine lid which is very easy to do. Remove aircleaner noteing where the hoses go and the bolt should be obvious on the firwall/enginetin on the transmission side.
