1987 xjsc v12 remove and replace starter
#2
Disconnect the battery first.
Remove the down pipes, and if it's RHD remove the lower steering column from the rack.
Remove the wires from the starter.
Undo the bolts, there is a 7/19 bolt that is above the transmission and can only be removed with a 3/8 drive 12 point 7/16 socket. This bolt is real PITA.
The starter will come out with a bit of wiggling. If you have a starter issue I would strongly suggest replacing it with the smaller reduction gear unit, these are MUCH smaller and a 1/3 of the weight and much easier to get in and out.
