Has anyone had the pleasure of removing a starter from a W27A?
I believe it should be just two bolts which I have taken out but the starter
Wouldn’t come out of the housing. There is very little room in there to get at it.
I managed to get a screwdriver in between the top ear and the housing but it still won’t budge.
I am afraid to put too much pressure on there because it might break the engine housing. So is it just two bolts? Any advice would be appreciated.

I had mine out last summer. I feel your pain. Keep tapping on the back and try to get a wood lever on the underside to wiggle it loose. It will break free.

Good luck -
