There is more than likely just 3 bolts mounting the starter to the transmission. Often when a starter goes bad the bendix on the starter jams in the flywheel and makes it really fun to get out of it's spot. I would take a mallet and hit the starter and jar it loose. The starter will not be held in so tight by the bolts for the electrical connections that it won't move. You just have to give it some love taps and struggle like heck to get it out. Just how it goes with a stuck starter.
If the starter has never been replaced, it is probable seized onto the transmission. Try spraying penetrating fluid, or WD40 on the area its seized on, and use a prybar to remove the starter. I hope this helps Matt
Hello, I learned a trick from putting in a boat starter on a cabin cruiser. Not sure it will help you, but here it is. I used a rope around the starter to hold it up while I tried to start a guide bolt in. It took enough weight off the starter for me to get a bolt started.
Once I had 1 bolt started, it carried the weight and I could juggle the starter into position. On my boat, I used the exhaust manifold to tie off one end of the rope. You may have to back off a transmission bell housing bolt to do the same.
Or you may be able to wedge a piece of wood from the floor to under the starter to help with alignment and weight. You may need enough extensions to reach from the bolt on the starter to the front of the engine, about 36 inches.
Be sure to position your wheels to allow for clearance under the starter, as tierods can get in the way.
Follow the battery wire (disconnected) to the starter and remove the nut and solenoid wire. There should be two bolts to the bellhousing (a old term for the transmission to engine piece).
Hi, I am assuming you know where starter is. If you have found bottom bolt #14 metric socket which to reach you "must" use a medium length extention and go into it right above manifold pipe to reach it. I found if you take the guard off the starter 3 small hex head screws, it is much easier to get at all bolts (2). Whats strange is the lower bolt on starter mounts from the front and the "TOP" bolt #14 has to be reached from the rear of starter. You can not see the top bolt from bottom or top, but if you use your hand and reach up aroung the back of starter you can feel it! It took 2 of us one reaching up from bottom with just #14 deep well socket (no extention) on the rachet and feeling where to place it with rachet facing up, and person over top of engine reaching down helping to align socket on bolt, then use a piece of pipe or ? From the top place pipe extension on end of rachet and bolt will easily.
break loose. Good Luck it sounds hard but is fairly easy with right tools. kasheyboy77
