Thanks to all whose posts I found when I did a search for "starter removal".

Darn winding reel on my 95 6x6 broke, again, so I figured it was time to redo the electric starter. What a piece of work it is to get one of these off! Why 2 damn bolts in the rear, especially the one which the starter case hides at top?

Anyway, great forum. Many great folks here. Hope all are enjoying their Summer riding season. At least the recoil winding reel broke after our last heavy snow so I got my plowing done.

I am sure I will be posting here again soon. Yet, after replacing the middle drive shaft, putting on a new head gasket, and now R&Ring the both entire starting systems; I hope it will be a while before something else needs work.

Thanks again.
