Was your suspension raised prior to starting ? I had my wheel and heat shield off for easy access, but it came out via the triangle opening you mentioned. If it helps, it took me over an hour, and it felt like it was impossible, until suddenly it wasn't. Pretty sure it came out with the pinion facing downwards, and it needed a twist while rotating, but it's not a job I ever want to do again! |

it will definitely come thought the triangle. IIRC you go backwards, tilt the rear of the SM upwards, and eventually you can tip the shaft end down through the triangle. Takes a while. Maybe you didn't swear enough? You def need to swear sufficiently to get it out. .

Update.....I removed the front drivers wheel and the side heat shield (the flexible tin one which is secured with 4 screws, not the metal one above the SM) and this gave a little more head room to manoeuvre the SM so that I could drop it down out of the subframe.

Great work, rewarding job to complete. Mine was okay with intermittent starting for a couple of months, but was getting worse very quickly so not one to sleep on! |

Changed the starter on my 3.6 V8 yesterday using this as a guide.

Today I replaced my previous preventative bike starter relay at the starter solenoid with 4mm2 wire direct from the fuse box. On 2 occasions the bike relay had to be removed, firstly to remove the starter motor to fit a crankshaft locking tool then recently to lean the steering rack over to replace the input shaft seal after which I didn't refit the bike relay. The parallel wire is a simpler solution, not adding more electrical complexity and no bulk at the starter solenoid. |
