i'm having one heck of a time trying to remove my starter on my 06 R500 and i have searched and searched many places to no avail , i have the battery disconnected and right side exhaust off the heat shield below it the starter heat shield 2 lower motor mount bolts loose on a lift and can raise the engine and i have starter bolts loose but i can't get to the back to loosen wires and it won't come out with motor mount in the way,there's no room , any tips from here ?

i've looked around (as you probably did) and cannot find anything of value on the interwebs.....

Is there a way to disconnect the wires / add slack top side so you can pull the starter down?

Hi there , yes i did manage to get the rest of the job done , it does involve getting the motor mount out and the motor mount arm off the engine and the heat shield off the starter , then you can get to the back of the starter to get the wires off , and only then will the starter have room enough to come out , otherwise there is no way it will come out of its hole, and the top left motor mount arm bolt is near impossible to see let alone get to , the trick to that is go through the hole in the frame by the rf wheel/strut you can just barely see that bolt IMO the only way to get to it, then i notched the motor mount arm and heat shields to put it back together easier, took me some time to figure it out but it ended well. Thanks
