Ok, I've got Downey headers on and had to do the starter solenoid repair on my starter. I removed my skid plate, undid the 2 bolts holding the starter in place, and weaseled my starter down and out through the front. Now putting the starter back in, she just will not fit. The side access pnael in the wheel well is blocked by my headers.

Now I searched on here and people said that they pry'ed on the motor mount to squeeze the starter in and others said the jacked the engine up and undid the motor mounts.

My Questions is.... do I unbolt the 4 bolts to the block? Do I un do the 2 bolts closest to the frame? Or do I do all of them and fully remove the motor mount to get the starter back in?

Here are 2 views of the motor mount in question...



Any advice is greatly appreciated as I'm without my truck right now.
Thanks

To undo the motor mount, just remove the two bolts that hold the mount to the frame. Probably just need to remove them on the passenger side then put a jack under the oil pan (w/ a block of wood) and lift it up. The bolts to remove would be near the red circle in the image below (one on each side):



That will make it easier to get back together.

 

Thank you for your quick response Mr. Brown. You're knowledge and readiness to help all is impressive. Thank You again.

Morph,

IMHO..Best thing to do here would be to take off the parts that are causing the problem...the downey headers and custom cross pipe....go back to stock and never have to worry about it again......Then since you won't be needing them parts any more just box em up and send to me.....lift kit + stock exh = hassel free starter work.
I am there for you.......this is only to help you and its not about me..........

OHHHHH Yeah and if a box arrives in Japan with an exh in it.....I will also have some beach front property for sale that I will make you a good deal on......
