My disco died on me yeterday. Couldn't figure out what was going on... I'm not sure if the starter is bad or not but after trying to start the truck a few times every hour or so the starter definately sounds different. I was going to pull it and check to make sure the teeth on the gear look ok etc... I got the positive wire off fine and was begining to pull the lower bolt when I looked to the upper bolt location, what's the trick to geting the upper bolt out? It looks almost impossible to get to without major work.••••••• pointers? Thanks. | ||

I also replace my starter not long ago. My starter died on me while I filling up my gas, the engine would not turn. I ended up towing it home with a tow bar which I had to remove the bumper. With the bumper removed it gave me extra room to see the top bolt. Another thing I did was remove the heat shield located next the exhaust manifold and the heat shield that was clamped on the starter itself this is what worked for me. I don't think you need to remove the bumper, its up to you. | ||

HOLD IT, HOLD IT!! The starter is pretty simple, you have to get it from above. Use the proper size hex key and a deep well socket for leverage.
