Has anyone replaced a starter motor on a SSR-X 3L,TD. Recently purchased this vehicle and am really enjoying it apart from the ocasional failure to start. I have a replacment starter motor but am having a mare trying to get the second bolt off. Any ideas?

Yes I have............it is a bitch!
Jack it up, N/S wheel off, rubbers on inside of arch off to give access and light (Stick the bonnet up too). The second bolt is a nasty one but it can be got with a ring/C spanner and a lot of patience, I think that I attacked it from underneath and it was hiding behind something and is at the rear of the housing.
The real fun is to be had in getting it out through all the plumbing, it will only come out going up! It's even harder getting it back in and it helps to have a mate giving you a hand.
Hope my ramblings help.

Many thanks - managed to extricate it eventually, but see what you mean about the wiring!Comment
