Default Starter motor removal & reinstallation...

Hi all,

I searched for a thread on this but was unable to locate one. There is an issue with my starter motor (only recently bought the car) and I want to try cleaning the solenoid contacts. I have removed the battery box (boy those torx bolts were tight) and have removed the aircleaner box also. I'm unsure as to whether I'll be able to access the 8mm cap bolts while the starter is still in place so I am considering removing the starter.

My question is (2.0 v6 2001, auto, petrol) whether it is just a case of removing the ..three (i think) bolts and then just pull it outward and upward (to avoid the nearby engine mount) and refit the reverse or whether this is a much more complex job that I perhaps shouldn't be attempting.

I'd appreciate any assistance.

Thanks,

Andy.
