What's attached to my Starter Motor?

[richard.w]

Mine's a 1982 water cooled 1.6 diesel, manual. I've embarked on what is, for me at least, my first major job, removing the starter.
From inside the van looking towards the tailgate I can get at the two bolts securing the starter. I've freed both up but the one on the right is also securing what looks like a small piston or pump, the pipe of which seems to go into the engine at one end whilst the other goes underneath the body heading forward. Also, on the front of the starter there is a clip holding a hose, which I just worked out.
Thre's no clue in the JK manual as to what these are. Can anybody help please before I do something I maybe shouldn't.
Many thanks

Should be 2 wires, a heavy one, bolted to end of starter, and a lighter "trigger" wire, usuallu a push on connector. Disconnect the battery first.

Tks. I've removed the wires from the solenoid (and battery). The puzzle is the mechanical object which is attached to a flange which is fixed to the block by the right hand bolt. The starter motor on that side is therefore held into position between the flange and the block.

clutch slave cylinder, just leave it where it is when the starter pulls away

Tks Lambrettalee.
The starter is secured behind the flange of the cylinder. Having removed the bolt will the cylinder move to one side so I can ease the starter out. Are we talking v. delicate here or what?

[richard.w]

The flange just keeps getting in the way! I've freed up the starter so that it will turn round in either direction, but I just cannot get it past the flange. Anybody with any bright ideas please?

Remove the bolt from the tie rod (the bar which runs down at a 45 degree angle) the Slave cylinder with then rotate away from the starter motor enough for you to wiggle it out.

Thank you Splendiferous 11, it's out!!
Not so much wriggling as contortion, me and the starter. Now to find what's wrong.
Tks one and all, just such a great site.
