Starter removal?

Hi,

There is a bracket between the engine and transmission that needs to be removed. Once that is out, you can lower the starter downward.

I attached the directions below for you. Take a look through them and let me know if they help.

Take care,

See pics below.

Hi,

That's odd. By chance, could you take a pic of what is obstructing you from removing it? According to two manuals, that is what needs to be removed, but if it isn't there, that certainly isn't the issue.

Let me know.

Hi,

I never had that issue. If you aren't able to remove it in any direction, the only thing you can do is lower the exhaust.

Are the bolts that hold the down pipe to the manifold in good condition? You should be able to just remove them, and it will drop down low enough to remove the starter.

I wish I was there to see what you are dealing with. That would make it a lot easier. LOL

Let me know.

Hi,

Thanks for the update. If someone changed the exhaust, that makes it difficult for me. Not being there to see what you are dealing with makes it nearly impossible. Are you able to disconnect the down pipe off the manifold? Or is that even a possibility?

If the system is customized and you have already gone through this much effort, chances are the exhaust will need remove or at least loosened enough to make enough room to remove the starter. Can you upload a couple of pics so I can see what you are dealing with?

Let me know.
