from hazy memory...

take off the bolt that holds starter and slave cyl bracket and move
bracket out of way. bending it a little if i recall.

starter will come out, dropping down to the right. its a little bit
of a bear, hard on the knuckles. good time to check all the contacts
etc.

Hi all,

The clutch slave cylinder bracket is over the flange of the starter
motor.
Do I need to remove the bracket before I can pull the starter?

Any other words of wisdom?
