Be sure not to drop it in the open hole into the transmission! I didn't do this but could see how it would be easy to do. Pics via phone jammed up in the hole and rotated to fit. Will probably also help to lightly sand/at least clean the pin so it goes onto the new starter easily as it'll be a pain later. Once you've got the wires disconnected you can finangle the starter out of that cavity.Ĭheck the starter/tranny for the guide pin as you'll need to reuse it with the new starter.
The smallest post is a plain black wire coming from the same loom as the one going to the medium post and is on the top side of the solenoid The medium is the one on the bottom and is a small ~18ga black wire with a yellow maybe white stripe The largest has two heavy gauge wires both with red coverings on the connectors There are three different sized posts on the starter solenoid: Took a few more pics so I knew where the wires went but really isn't tricky at all. Easier to get the wires off if you twist the starter vertical so the posts are facing down and can use a socket to loosen the connections. You'll have to move the vacuum canister around if you didn't remove it but there's room to maneuver with it loose. Now go back up to the starter side and grab the starter and wiggle it loose (there's still a guide pin holding it on) Once broken loose the bolts should come out relative easily E12 socket-3inch-U-joint-6inch straight-U-joint-6inch wobble-10inch wobble-ratchet-big box end wrench for torque) You'll have to guide it as it'll be long and floppy going into the tight space :shifty (yes I know how that sounds.) _-For the upper I used a bit more to get up the transmission tunnel, over towards the center, and up to the interface where the bolt is. _-For the lower bolt it's much easier and you can get away with about a foot and a half of wobbly extensions (I used E12 socket-3 inch-Ujoint-6inch wobble-10in wobble) Build your extension & u-joint contraption: Just feel around up there so you can get a sense of where things are and supposed to go since the bolt removal is almost entirely by feel. Now you have eyes on the starter and the real fun can begin Remove the nut (lower middle of pic) to get the vacuum canister out of the way since the starter is directly behind it Same with the thin semi-rigid fuel line on the same support Should undo that hose guide (top middle of pic) to move the hose a little more out of the way.
04 330CI REPLACING WHITE OVERLAY WITHOUT REMOVING NEEDLES DRIVERS
(view looking up at drivers side of tranny with rear of car to right) It will look like this up where you're going to be poking around so clean it off. Discovered this after already removing the cabin filter and housing of course. *This is all I had to remove* - Didn't have to do anything from the top like the DIY's said since I could get both bolts from below using the contraption I'll describe below. Remove the aluminum belly brace (8 bolts 16mm I think) Remove front plastic splash guard (7 phillips screws) Jack car up and safely secure it before crawling underneath and wrenching on stuff Sorry there are a lot less pictures than planned since my better half took the camera out of town forcing me to use my phone for the important things like recording where wires went etc. Spent two nights after work ~3hrs each including the 30 mins it takes to get the thing up on jack stands and properly secured. So I got the starter swapped out with way less of a headache than I expected. Undertook this project because of symptoms described here ().
