iana Posted May 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 The starter arrived a couple of weeks ago, work and family have prevented progress but I have now started to remove the old start, it doesn’t look old but that means nothing as I don’t know where it came from. Is there any short cuts to assist with the removal, I’ve removed the engine valance, and can now access the starter but cannot find a way of removing the top bolt - is it a case of gear box cover out again?

johny Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 Yes its normally cover off or its certainly a lot easier that way. However with a specially made tool Ive always wondered if it wouldnt be possible to hold the nut from the front... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 its is possible to get a swivel/folding socket spanner on the top one getting it back can be another headache even much faffing around with a ring but the simplest is tunnel out ...sorry pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Lewis Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 the tunnel comes out easier if you drop the heater box cable and its just two screws to remove the air distribution box gives more room to remove the tunnel apart from being upside down on your back in varifocals all help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Truman Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 My fibre glass cover comes out easy enough BUT I do have to remove the radio which is underhang from the front bottom lip of the dash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iana Posted May 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 The starter motor is fitted, engine turns over a lot better, it’s a completely different sound (quite noisy) but the car started much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
