Should be a 5/8" bolt on top of the yellow bracket with a lock nut. Turn it out and starter should slide out.

Thank you!!!

It may also be rusted into the housing. Spray it down with PB Blaster the day before.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
