To cut a long story short, I blew the starter motor after a fuel filter change on my 52 reg Astra.
So no problem, I ordered a new starter motor and that arrived without hitch.
My problem is trying to get the old starter motor out.
As you can imagine, access is very tight but I managed to undo all of the bolts bar one.
On the back of the starter motor are two bolts that sit in a bracket.
One of the nuts came out easily, the other though just spins on the bolt (like the thread for the bolt is knackered).
So how do I get this one out ?
Since this is the old knackered starter motor I am not concerned breaking it up to get out.
I did think about a chisel to cut the bolt down but the access is a real issue, I cannot get a hack saw in the location to cut the bolt either.
any ideas ?
