xjsportman Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Hi all I'm looking for some tips on removing the starter motor in my cabby. I have a new one to go in. I have been underneath a couple of times now but cant seem to see all the bolts I need to remove... 3 I think plus the electrical connections. Can it be done from the top or is it, as I suspect from underneath. I cant get it on my ramps as the lower bumper hits before it will go up, my trolly jack wont take it high enough to slide ramps under and I dont have any longer planks to lessen the angle. Looks like I may have to slide under using the jack, which really I dont want to do.... too dangerous. Someone on here must have done this before..... how did you do it???? I'm getting old fat and decrepid now so not as agile as once was!! Any help/tips on the best way to do this gratefully accepted as I would really like to get some use from the cabby before the summer disappears again.... or has that already happened! Thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Grainger Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 You will need to get underneath...... Perhaps get someone to help by lifting the car by the wings just enough to get the Jack under. Not sure what Jack and stands you have but it would need to be quite high as the starter is at the back. Some garages hire out ramps and equipmant which could be worth an ask or just pay them to change it. Labour time is only 0.6 of an hour. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
