Many / most starter motors have bearings at both ends don't they, so can be run off the vehicle
(not that doing so proves much I grant you
)
See you tomorrow
Harsh lol....just like the armature grinding away at the starter casing....

Cleaned the connectors and earth strap, they were pretty manky (good Scots work for dirty), cleaned them up and it starts far better but still has the occasional stutter.
ordered a bearing.
had a go at removing the bolts from the starter motor but couldn't get a spanner to fit, 14 too small 17 too big and a 16mm metrinch spanner was a bit too loose as well,
what size is it?
Thanks
Andy

Maybe the one between 14 and 16?

Yea sort worked that one out but why is every spanner set i have not got a 15mm size in it.
i had a good look and found a total of 7 sets, not one 15 so its off to toolstation on monday and another set to add to the collection.
