Disaster has struck. !!!!!!

[Watty]

There we go !!!!!

The replacement starter turned up today, so I checked the contacts and they are great (came off a Firblade\), so I lubed the spigot and o ring, copper grease on the two studs and refitted. Then used a dollop of electrical grease on the contacts and used the replacement cover - job done !!!!

Get in Disaster averted

Nice work! Good to see you didn't have to strip the LHS engine cover to get it out.

Cleaned mine up earlier this year, packed with boot with grease etc. Also stole a tip straight out of my son's WR service manual - put a cable tie around the boot to help prevent any water getting between cable and boot. Just though I'd share that.

Cheers

Nice tip! It's great to see that starter back on a working. I don't think i have ever seen a starter stuck like that. Good job on that fix!

It's slowly coming back to life.

I will post a picture of the rear caliper later showing just what corrosion can do aligned to poor maintenance !!!!!

And a tip for not breaking your thumb !!!!
