Loosen the securing nuts.
Note:
An angle spanner is an advantage for ac-
cessing the inner screws (see illustra-
tion).
Remove the starter motor.
Check the starter motor pinion for wear and
smooth running. If required, clean the pinion with a
brush dipped in fuel and grease it again.
Check the toothed flywheel ring for wear and damage.
In doing so, crank the engine once by hand and pay particular attention to points where the engine finally
stops, i.e. when the engine is switched off, it always stops at certain points.
In this position, the starter motor pinion engages on starting.
Replacing the starter motor toothed ring, see page 73.
The starter motor is installed in reverse order of removal; when doing so, connect the cable properly and
tighten the bolts as prescribed.
Connect the battery and/or switch on the main battery switch.
Check the function of the starter motor after installation.
