Help with starter removal!

[Jquest21]

Has anyone ever removed their started off their 07 1800sr3? It is impossible to get to with very limited crawl space. Any tip is appreciated!

It may help to remove the exhaust manifold to get better access.

Is there a way to just remove the starter solenoid. Or will I have to remove the starter to get to the solenoid?
The solenoid is the what I’m trying to get to.

I don’t know with you model. I sure it can be done but not sure if it’s easier to pull the starter to do it.

Anyone knows which way the threads turn to loose? Is it lefty if would’ve looked upside down?

[mmwjr]

Standard threads, right to tighten and left to loosen.

Only way to do it , been there done that. Unless you are member of the Cirque du Soleil .

Save some time and the risk of breaking a bolt . Remove the exhaust manifold, get a new gasket for it and remove the starter, be gentle with the bolts and get a cheap wrench that you do not mind to filing it with the dremmel to be able to fit between the flywheel cover and the bolt.

Good luck
