merckx Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 You'll need access to the underneath of the car. Disconnect battery!!!!!! Decent socket set with long!!!! extension bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprasport Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 technically very easy, physically, its a nightmare. i was laid on my back for 4 hours taking out 2 bolts, as merckx said you will need a selection of extension bars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 As Merckx said, as long as you can get the car up on axle stands or ramps it's quite straightforward to change the starter. FOUR HOURS!? Did you fall asleep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I believe the fitting instructions are in the member download area somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 pretty easy if you have the right tools........... a VERY long extension bar is essential... took me over 6 hours to get the top bolt off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickTT Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 pretty easy if you have the right tools........... a VERY long extension bar is essential... took me over 6 hours to get the top bolt off Good lord you must get through a lot of tea. Jacked mine up, removed and refurbished the starter, refitted it and put the whole lot back on the floor in about 1 hour. Easy job!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
