starter motor.......

[bighands 0]

just about 2 rip off mine, and was just wondering if anyone know's of any known problems, or is it just the 2 bolts n it should slide out? just my mate did it on his astra once, and something fell in the flywheel, so had 2 split it.... :roll: hoping this will be nice easy one!!!... chers in advance :D

the bolts for the starter motor also connect the front engine mount on... you'll need to support the front of the engine with a jack (and piece of wood) under the sump to lift the front of the engine slightly so that you can get the bolts out and back in again without any major hassles... 8) It's simple once you know to do that.... 8) you may need to "assist" the startermotor out once the bolts are out with a light tap with the handle of a hammer... ;)

 

Oh, and it's ESSENTIAL that you disconnect the battery! ;) :roll:

AAAAGRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGG only just finished!!! took 30 mins 2 get it out, 3 n a half hours 2 get it back in!!!! bloody nightmare!!! and the problem...... the engine mounts!!! took a hour 2 devise a system 2 hold the engine up, and had 2 slacken off all the engine mount nuts 2 let it 'slip'in! but quick service 2 the starter motor, and she turns over like new!! so it was all worth it in the end, savesd us having 2 buy a new one, the solinoid is very easy thing 2 clean up!! cheers for the advice, even tho i didnt get it till now!!! :D :D
