Title: cherokee diesel starter
Post by: chas on January 31, 2006, 08:35:51 PM
Hi all  
I'm new on the forum  just surfing for tech help with my Cherokee sport diesel
I've got a starter problem the starters turning but its not engaging
I recon the starter solenoid is jamming how do you get the starter out
do you remove the engine mount or the turbo and how maney bolts holding the starter I can see two to the out side is thair one one the inside their isn't a lot of room in their
            appreciate any help
                                       Chas

It's a horrible shitty job.
3 bolts on the starter, engine mount off.
Good luck!

thanks Mike
                 I take it you've had the pleasure of this job
is the bolt at the back at the top or rite behind the starter body
and  can I get access to it when I remove the engine mount
