Battery is fine, but when I try to start it, all I get is a solenoid click. Like maybe it's jammed? Car won't turn over. Push started the car just fine, drove around, parked it and tried to start it, but no dice. Just a click.
This is apparently a Renegage "factory" conversion, done in the mid 90s. What kind of starter is this? Some random dude once told me it is from a Mitsubishi diesel. Correct? Also, it looks like a separate solenoid on it? Is it replaceable? Can I take it off while the starter is on the car? How do I diagnose the problem? The starter itself seemed to be working strong, no problem, before today. (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v520/bak535/Picture247.jpg) |

You take the clips out, and beat it one way until the cap slides out. Then you remove the cap and beat it the other way to get the cap on the other side out. Once the caps are out on opposite sides the X shaped center part can be fished out of the yoke. Roller bearing bits will go everywhere. Getting the new ones in is trickier because you have to do it without damaging them. That's where a vice and a few sockets come in handy.
Just be glad they aren't Opel U-joints. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
