MarkAubuchon Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 How hard is it to remove the starter on P15 Sedan. I can see the lower right bolt, Im sure there is one on the motor side. Any tips would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casper50 Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 My 47 has two bolts. I can remove them top from under the hood and the bottom from under the car. When I was trying to get my pressure relief valve correct I must have removed it 10 to 12 times over 2 weeks. Unhook the battery first thing.

MarkAubuchon Posted October 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 when I look at it with the hood up I can see and probably reach the bolt on the bottom right side. where is the other located? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casper50 Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 I have one top and one on the bottom. None on the sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Ed Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Time to break out those wobble extensions or 1/2 moon wrenches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captden29 Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 on my 54 Windsor it took every wrench of every angle to get the top bolt off. it is hidden behind the starter motor body. not impossible but time consuming . not familiar with what a moon wrench is, but i may even have some. i buy unusual size and angled wrenches at flea markets if they are cheap. always found a need for them if only once. capt den Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to try out every 5/8 wrench in the box, finally found one that could do a 1/8" turn at a time to get the top bolt out .... and was same way getting the top bolt back in with new starter.

9 foot box Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 That bolt is the reason I bought a crowfoot wrench set. Hardly ever use them other than that. I take the top bolt out first, and as I loosen the lower bolt I hold the starter up into position, till the lower bolt is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Coatney Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Half moon wrench also known as a starter wrench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kencombs Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 These aren't cheap, but a set will be the handiest thing in your tool box: with a compact 3/8 drive impact or air ratchet they are a great time and knuckle saver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkAubuchon Posted October 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Thanks for the help. Came right out, 10 inch extension with a swivel and 5/8 shallow socket. Only drank one beer! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
