Starter motor removal ????

[naylor04]

Hiya guys, i need advice on how to remove my old starter motor, i sort of "had-a-go" earlier but got a bit stuck
I undone 2 nuts both of wich held in place wires, 1 red and 1 black from one nut and 1 thin black wire from behind another nut, no what do i do, i cant sem to find anymore nuts and bolts
is the starter motor 2 cylinders side by side ? just next to and below the servo ?
How do i get this thing off its driving me crayayzee !

your half way there mate
now just 2 nuts and bolts,1 near the top
and 1 near the bottom.(of the starter motor)
HTH

Bob
ps,yes thats the starter motor with the wires on.its attached
to the bell housing.

Cheers Bob, i suppose it'll make more sense to me when my starter motor arrives, then i can see where the bolts will come from by looking at yours.
Is it easier for me to do it from under the car as i cant see the nuts looking from the top of the engine bay ?

yep, you should be able to get at the bolts much easier from underneath

I'm amazed things didn't go bang if you disconnected the large red wire without disconnecting the battery. The red wire is connected directly to the battery ...

Disconnect the negative (-ve) from the battery and you'll be OK
