ok so i think pullin the starter w/o pullin the cluch is NOT gonna happen...i have it lose and can sway it back and forth but cant seem to get it out...help me out please...if i have to pull the cluch just to make it easyier ill do it

 

the clutch,? NO .you will have to remove the pullstart housing to get to the bolts in there and the ones hidden towrds the back of the starter motor but i never had to remove anything on the clutch side

 

i know that...i have the starter lose...the two bolts that are in w/ the flywheel and the 2 on the other side...i can move it back and forth but im not sure on how to get it to drop out of its nice little hideing area...

 

try to pull the bendex out the flywheel side and the starter should fall right out
