    Starter Motor

    Hey Guys, Thanks for all the input. Turning the wheel all the way to the right cleared the steering arm and taking the clutch slave off and moving it did the trick. After that it was just jiggle and drop. Thank you to all who helped. Fred

    Starter Motor

    I haven't had to replace a starter in a long time, but I do now. I seem to recall being able to remove it without dropping the exhaust manifold. But now I can't seem to get mine out. What is the best procedure? The wsm seems to have it flying right out. Thanks Fred
