My dad helped me replace the starter today. We could barely get the bolts out even with the MB tool 1/2" drive. They were just really stuck. It took a little while.

We got side tracked. I wanted to take the downpipe out anyway and weld in a bung fitting for the pyrometer (EGT-sender) so we did that and some detailing.

Rebuilt starter is definately NICE! No more worries when on long trips!

Pictures to follow.
