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 |
