Keith Keir Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Ok so started taking the starter motor off to replace the solonoid. The two visable bolt are off but now to the tricky part how do i get the one thats on the inside, the side of thte engine? i have located it now how do i remove it :S i have got an extension on my rachet but it seems to wide? and is catchign on somthing and not allowing the socket to get on the nut. So if any of you wise men could lend a little point would be much apreciated. Also i assume the bolt that the power leads go on to is replacable seeing as the *beeping* thing sheared off If i have the time after i will write up a ''How to'' So if anyone else needs to do it it might be a little clearer for them. Thanks Keith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smo Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Not sure if the copper bolt can be replaced- never looked! As for the other one, ive always removed it with several extensions and a lot of swearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoflse Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Can you not drill them out and retap the holes?? I snapped the first one, so my end plate is only held on by 2 bolts. They are a bit small!! geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
