[DML] Re: Starter replacement

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Starter motor is an easy install, certainly within the capabilities of
any owner.

I don't think a parts house Volvo xRef bullnose will fit our
bellhousing, so get the part from a vendor.

Disconnect the battery first. Lines from it to the starter motor are
unfused and live all the time.

I find access easiest if the oil filter is removed.

Three 8mm bolts hold the motor, inserted from the transmission side of
the bellhousing. The big 10mm bolt in that same vicinity holds the
transmission. There's a flywheel protection plate sandwiched between
the starter motor and the bellhousing.

Those 12v lines (2 red and a bundle of brown) are a bit difficult to
install without creating a dead short, so I relocated mine into mid
air (wrapped in electrical tape) and ran a single pig tail to the
starter motor. I also added a second nut on the stud to move my pig
tail farther from the solenoid.

Have fun! Don't forget to reconnect your battery and reinstall the oil
filter...
