Subject:how to remove starter from '87 automatic Vanagon?
From:Christopher H. Stinson

I'm trying to replace the starter on my '87 automatic Vanagon, but I'm
having a problem with the less-accessible "bolt" that holds the starter
to the chassis.  The first, more-accessible "bolt" has a nut that
comes off with a socket wrench.  I can't see the less-accessible "bolt"
but it doesn't feel like there's a traditional nut on that "bolt" --
it feels like a round-edged (not six-sided) "nut" on that "bolt".

I can't find this addressed in my Bentley manual.  Any suggestions
from the list on how to detach this second "nut"?

Thanks!

Chris
