The top bolt on the starter looks relatively easy to remove. I just can't figure out how to get to the bottom one so I can remove and replace the starter.
I've thought about pulling the starter motor apart, since it looks like if I pulled out the smaller of the two "cylinders" that contains the armature, brushes, etc. I would have a clear path to the bottom bolt. Is this the best strategy? While I am pretty confident this method would work to remove the old one, I am concerned about whether this is the best way to install the new one since there is a chance the armature will pull away from the spring-loaded brushes.
What's the standard method for removing the starter and reinstalling a new one?
