The starter is loose but unable to get it out? Whats in the way?
Often on trucks there is a little bracket that goes from the front of the starter to the block(just below) to support the weight of the heavy starter. You got that and the wires off? CoryM

Put the bolts back in it (not tight), and use a screwdriver or small chisel to break the seal between the starter and bracket. And yes I know there is no seal, but time and heat can make one.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() SERIOSLY THOUGH -- ARE YOU HAVING A PROBLEM BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH CLEARANCE TO GET IT OUT?? IS IT LOOSE FROM THE BLOCK?? SEE IF YOU CAN FLIP THE STARTER 180 DEG. & TAKE IT OUT IN THAT DIRECTION.

LMAO @ MHC & junkyardjohn
Note: My father had a saying... Quote:
Chevy87blazer Has this engine (2.8) been replaced with a car engine. If so then the starters are different and you will need to jack up the engine or grind a notch in the bell housing (not recommended) to remove it. If not then do like junkyardjohn says. Try turning, sliding, wiggling, turning, sliding, wiggling, turning, sliding, wiggling. From your post it sounds like you’re in a panic. Remain calm. It will come out with some persistence and patients. Also, more detail in your post as to what exactly is the problem or interference will help us to give information. Good luck ![]() Last edited by DennyB; 01-24-2003 at 12:20 PM. |
