This is my first post, please excuse me if my form is inaccurate. I have searched the site for DIY instructions / hints on replacing the Starter and found nothing. I have been taking photos as I progress through the job and noting my access points. I am hoping to post instructions on the site later.
BUT I have encountered a problem. The starter will not unseat!
I have removed the upper starter mounting bolt, The lower starter mounting nut and both wires, two (2), from the solenoid. The starter is fixed in place.
I have raised the front end, put the transmission in drive and rocked the wheels back and forth (in case the pinion gear was jammed into the flywheel). Placed the transmission back in neutral and pulled. I am hesitant to use additional pressure to either pull or pry the starter from its seat before asking this forum if I have missed something. I don"t want to break anything and add to my repair. Thanks.
