<< Be sure to support the engine when you R&R the starter - the long hex-head bolts not only secure the starter but the front motor mount as well. You may need to use a floor jack to position the engine/transmission when you reinstert the bolts. >> dont slouch on this one, i didnt know about it when i did it and it was a PAIN, the motor shifts forward when you remove the first bolt and makes it very hard to take out the second one, i didnt realize what happened until i put the new one on and started putting it back together, it was quite a pain, i lowered the motor onto a pile of thick boards to support it from the oil pan, its a pretty straightforward process with the motor supported, also you need a good set of allen head ratchets, the bolts have recessed allen heads in them, also take off the negative battery post because the connection to the solenoid is live all the time -Mike _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
