Starter motor removal

[gwl123]

For the '87 to '89 911 with the G50 tranny the procedure according to John Walker the procedure goes like this:


1. disconnect battery
2. remove sway bar
3. loosen heat hose clamps at exchangers
4. disconnect shifter from the trans
5. support end of trans with a jack
6. remove trans mount bolts
7. lower trans 6 inches.

then you can get at the top starter nut with a 10mm allen socket, extension and ratchet. the rest is obvious. not fun on the ground. solid jack stands under the torsion bar tubes outside the spring plates.

Can anyone add to this? Any steps or issue to further address?

Thx.
