Starter problems

[Ivan141]

There are 2 ways of taking the starter of banpei:
1: least stressfull method, more expensive: detach exhaust manifold to make room to get to the starter, then just loosen the 2 bolts and disconnect wiring.

2: Method I used (on the older type starter):
Get under the car, take off the small metal heatshield that's bolted to the starter engine. Try to disconnect wiring as far as possible, loosen bolts holding the starter in place (You can reach one from under and one from above the car). Now with the starter loose, you can manouver it out between the exhaust manifold and firewall.
I've used this method 3 times, it is a pain to do and it will leave some wounds on your hands before your done, but you will save on the cost of exhaust gaskets.
