my starter died and i am trying to remove it but i cant get it out, it is stuck in there because the exhaust piping is blocking it from coming out, how can i get it out?

 

If the exhaust manifold is in the way the only way to get it out is by either taking the manifold completely off or loosening it and trying to work it off but when mine went the first time the whole manifold was removed. Now that I have headers it comes right off. That by itself made the headers a good investment.

thanks, this is gonna suck..

 

Remove the solenoid housing from the starter first, and you will get it out.

 

I've never had to take any exhaust apart to get mine out... manifolds or headers. Just wrestle with it a little and twist it around and it will eventually come out. If that won't work, dropping the Y-pipe would be easier than taking the exhaust manifold off IMO....

 

if youve never done exhaust work dont take off the manifold..... your bolts without being heated will likely snap causing irritating exhaust leaks so on....... anyways as others said it doesnt need to come out.... take a big pry bar and a block of wood and pry the y pipe over a little while youre wrestling it out.... they are a bit of a pain but no big deal...

 

It will fit, just have patience

You dont have to beat/bend/remove anything

Ive done it more than once

 

as he said thats probbly the easiest way, thats how i did mine
