Hey guys,
My starter went out tonight after being weak for like a year or two lol... I think I shorted it out when I was swapping my mid pipes. Quick question..What size are the starter bolts, 15mm? And do I need to drop the midpipe to get it out and install the new one? Anything else I need to know or should it be a relatively easy direct swap I hope..?

Thanks,
Shawn

I believe they are either 10mm or 13mm. And the top bolt is going to be a bitch

they should be 10's.............yes the top bolt is a M'Fer..........a long 1/4 drive extention with a 10mm swivel socket.........DISCONNECT THE BATT !!!!!!!!!

I used 3/8 drive and about 3 feet of extensions. I had my buddy lay on the ground ( I know I'm a nice guy like that) and he positioned the socket while I turned the bolt.

You might be able to snake it thru. where are the cats at on that mid pipe of yours?

thot my bolts were 13s, dont need to drop the midpipe. i always conveniently lose the top hard to get to bolt going back in, never had any problems.

I keep hearing that you have to fight that top bolt. Good luck with it.

right tools for the job saves ALOT of "fighting" ( not to mention ALOT of cussin)
