Disconnect the positive lead at the battery.
Stand the machine straight up. This gives easy access.
Remove the lead wire and the 2 bolts holding it in (8mm).
You will have to bump it to get it out of the case (the o-ring mentioned holds it tight).
The starter will wiggle out. It is TIGHT!!! You will cuss and maybe even throw something, but it will come out.

I've never removed one but i have a repair manual, in the manual it states to remove the starter: first disaconnect the battery ,second disconnect wire at connector on starter motor lead. Unbolt and withdraw starter motor. Note the location of all componates during disassembly to aid in reassembly. During installation, make sure "O" ring is positioned around neck of pinion cover, then guild starter into position. Remainder of installation is the reverse of removal procedure. Sorry but there are no pictures of removal and reinstallation in my manual, i hope this is of some help to you ; williebee !

most starters just have a wire and 2 bolts holding them in. like Willie said, remove wire, bolts and pull straight out on the unit. should pop right out.


others have chains that you have to remove a sidecover to get to. since Willie has the manual, looks like this isn't the case for you.
