2001 GTX 4-tech Starter Removal

[cchris0411]

I am having some issues here first I can not figure out exactly what model my Ski is. The vin is zzn71752e202
Once I figure it out I may be able to get this thing out of the ski.
I have removed the rear two bolts at the pos terminal and a few bolts at the front but just can not seem to get the dam thing out. Any help please.

I think you might be missing a bolt somewhere, that is still tight. Get a mirror and check all around the starter.

Thanks for the advice, I was aware there is something i am missing, I was kind of hoping to figure out what exact model I have so I can look it up in the tech drawings

I got the starter out of the unit, it was just the two bolts at the rear of the unit. THe starter's bearings are no longer any good. THis is a $300 part from the dealer....
I have sprayed down the inside of each cylinder with PT and hope all goes well in a week when the new unit arrives.
Will keep you posted.
