Does anyone know how hard it is to remove the starter?
I just purchased a 1999 VMax with a starter issue. I'm not sure what it is, it sounds like a bendix spring (if they have one) in the starter, but the guy I bought it from said he had the left eng side cover off so I am thinking the starter clutch could also be an issue. He said he took the cover off because he needed to tighten the 3 bolts on the flywheel.
So..., I'm trying to decide which way to pursue first?
I was thinking removing the starter and seeing if the gear extends out to engage the eng (flywheel?) would be easier, but I am out of town at the moment so I thought I would check with the experts.
Is there a "how to" for removing the starter on the forum? I searched but did not find one.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill
