I need to replace my starter and removing the bolt on top looks impossible without removing the engine - what is teh secret or do I need to remove the motor? Access looks tough, but coming at it from the other side of the car and it does not even look like I can get a wrench on the bolt or even turn it if I could - HELP?

it is a NUT on the engine side that you remove......
either 15mm or 17mm |

i use 2 or 3 socket extensions and that brings my ratchet out behind the transaxle. no problem.
a wobble extension makes it even easier. good luck. |

I just want to say thanks to Mike and Roger. So many times when I see someone ask a simple question like this I see an answer or two to the effect - check the archives or ha ha you're stupid. Very cool that you respectfully answered.
Maybe all the A-holes are at some event? Nah... JK! I'm not jelous no... really. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

I took one out on a 4 but for some reason I just can't see it on my 6. I have to get it on a lift and use the long extension.
I could probably do it in the driveway but Ray has given us wonderful use of a lift and I hate to be on my back so I will wait til I get it one the lift. |

I have had a spat of starter problems lately so I have become quite aware of the locations and what not... On my six it is in the same spot, it is the same starter in fact. However, on the six, I do not recall having to go up into the engine compartment and go after a nut. I may be wrong, but I think I just turned both the upper and lower bolt off from underneath... |

Rogers advices really does not help "that" much...his car is a V8 conversion which places all the hardware on the transmission side...nothing in the engine bay starter related (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
