If the bolts have been removed and the wires disconnected, try tapping the starter with a wooden block to loosen it, Sometimes the starter will stick in place due to sludge and grime.
If you're talking about the older, air cooled beetles, you don't need to remove the tin. The starter is reached from UNDER the car. Disconnect the battery, put the back of the vehicle on jack stands or ramps. Climb under and you should see the starter RIGHT BESIDE THE TRANSMISSION. Remove the wires, remove the 2 mounting bolts and the starter should fall out.
cant remove imesh from computer. keeps popping up, thanks
Basically a 10mm wrench to remove the Hot wire from the battery, which is bolted to the starter, also, the solenoid wire is clipped on, and the 14 or 17mm bolts holding the starter in. i cant remember what size exactly, id say 14mm. just run you hand back there and you can feel the wires. and the 2 bolts. disconnect battery first
if you cant figure out how to unbolt it you shouldn't be trying to replace it Raise the car and support it on stands. There is an acces cover underneath where the engine bolts onto the tranaxle that makes it pretty easy.
use a thin wrench or if possible just remove the pulley
You may have to take the transmission cover off. It should be held on with 4 small bolts.
You didn't remove the bolts.
you have to hold the battery cable or the nut behind it to keep it from turning with the nut you are removing.
You will need basic tools. Start by safely raising( the higher the better) the vehicle and put blocks or jackstands under it. Remove the negative battery cable. Follow the positive cable down to the starter if you are not sure of the strters location. While you are under car, look to see what stuff has to be removed to get at the starter; sometimes nothing does, but if something is right in the way, it will need to be removed. The starter will be held on by 2-3 bolts and 2 wires . Before you remove the wires notice how they are attached.At this point, you simply remove and replace. Make sure you tighten the cables securely.Reverse the procedures. Done. I hope this helps you. Mark
i am trying to remove cotter pin from my 40 hp outboard motor, and cant seem to get anywhere with it,any ideas what i can do to remove it Thanks
the starter is to the right of the battery, from the front of the car, down under some coolant hoses. you have to take off the air intake hose befor e you can even see it. you can always find a starter by following the big cable from the positive battery post. it goes directly to the starter. my problem is - I cant figue ouut how to get the starter out...its really buried in there! You are going to have to remove a decent amount of parts to get in there. It sucks but its necessary. Remove the intake hose and then use a 14mm socket to take off the top and bottom bolts. If facing from the front of the car the top bolt is more towards the front and the bottom bolt is towards the back. There are a couple bolts near the bottom one, so make sure you get the 14mm one for the starter. It will be somewhat long. Then you will be able to wiggle the starter out. Now you can use a 12mm socket to remove the positive battery cable.
