Title: 06 astra starter
Post by: sierrapaul on 28 September 2011, 19:17:57

got to put a new starter in an 06 astra 1.3 cdti.ive found the bottom bolt ok but cant find the top one.it dont go through from the starter side as can just about get your hand in there and feel around and cant feel a bolt there.on the gearbox side theres a hole in the bell houseing but cant see anything in there and cant see a bolt anywhere else.not that you can see much anyway theres so much rammed in there.thanks paul :y

Yeh, not obvious that one!

Requires a ball ended hex which goes in from the gearbox side through a hole in the bell housing ala:
