Help with sr20de manifold removal to fit startor motor

Postby initial D » Mon Feb 06, 2012 8:53 am

I am trying to replace the startor motor on my n15 sss. I have taken injectors out some hoses and oil lines, bolts which hold the manifold and it still doesn't want to come off?

Anyone know where i can get a PDF of this or workshop manual would be great

put it on stands and access it from underneth. don't do it the hard way.

or just remove the intake piping and battery + tray and hang yourslef over the wheel arch to access it.

the start motor is attached to the bell housing using 2 bolts. you shouldn't even need to remove much. just gotta be double jointed to reach around the lay shaft from underneth.

going from the top, if you up your belly on the strut top and lent over in a dangerous position, then you should be able to access it underneth the throttlebody.
