top bolt on the starter , tough .

Post by norcal pinz »

im having trouble removing the top bolt from the starter in my 710k i thought i had done this before but i guess not. I removed the wiring and the dipstick and the bottom bolt but the top one is such a tight squeeze i can barely get the wrench in there im thinking about cutting a wrench in half so i have room to swing it around? :roll: i broke it free i just cant turn it any suggestions would be handy .

Norcal Pinz I had the same problem. I bought a C shaped box end wrench at Harbor Freight, still had to gring it a bit but it worked great.

Try pulling the 2 mounting nuts off the slave cylinder and moving it out of the way :shock:
Then you can use any wrench, also loosen the lower nut to ease removal of upper nut :wink:

It takes a few minutes to remove the clutch slave....you don't even have to disconnect the line/hose, so it's simply a matter of re-bolting it back in place when you've finished.

or, you could use Miles's method! :roll: :D
