To remove the starter from a ford transit van, first you need to disconnect the battery. Once the battery is disconnected, you will find the starter on the gearbox facing the flywheel. At this point, you will need to remove connectors that are located on the back of the starter, and take out the bolts that hold it in place. By giving the starter a shake, the starter motor should come out.
change it for a new one,not worth the hassle of trying to repair it! £65 plus vat. 2 bolts job done!.
what needs to be remove before you change
No it is not a difficult job. You just undo the nuts on the solenoid contacts and release the wires being careful to note where each one goes back. Then there are three 13 mm bolts attaching the starter motor. Undo these and the starter will pull loose from the mount. Job Done!
It could be that you starter motor is going to give you trouble. This used to happen on Ford Transit Vans
