Glad you got it sorted, thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! I appreciate it.

Thanks for your compliment David, and thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Sometimes that happens. If you keep backing it out it will come out. You can apply pressure with the open end of a wrench to the bolt shoulder while turning if necessary.

I just removed the starter on my 2001 Jetta and that top bolt was a 3-levels-deep major pain to get out. Took 1½ hrs just turning that upper bolt alone due to 95K miles worth of gunk built up solid in the bellhousing hole it passes through. With thick padded gloves against a ½" ratchet and practically no swing-room, it was harder than hell to turn it but, with much might, I slowly, click by click, turned it out. It did follow through turning itself out w/o having to push under the shoulder of the bolt with an open-end wrench. I also soaked that ear-hole with WD40 even though it's not threaded. I tried from both above and below and from above proved better for access and maneuverability. It felt like I was going to snap it or flatten the threads as it came through the bellhousing ear-hole but that didn't happen. I must have pulled on that ratchet over 300 or 400 times but it did eventually turn out. That bolt was so tight with resistance on every single ratchet swing I really thought I was going to pull the whole car right off of the jack stands. Turning it back through (in) a few times on occasion may have helped as well. Leave the bottom bolt in hand-snug so the weight of the starter doesn't lay on the upper bolt as you're turning it out. Drink a large muscle protein shake mixed with a double espresso before you tackle it. You're gonna need it.

Both threaded, we just found that out.

Mine was the starter solenoid connector. You can get it at the dealer or a salvage yard. Hope this helps!

I would soak the mounting surface area with penetrating oil. After a while, a piece of wood and a strike with a hammer should work it loose without doing harm. Good luck with your repair!

@@AutoScholarwithMrB Thanks

I have a video on how to diagnose the entire circuit here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ppqBfJODrJ6wp3U.html

That should walk you through the entire process. Thanks so much for watching!

My car now start because of you thanks !

When replacing my starter I found a broken wire can I send you a picture of it ? Maybe you know what it could be

Try to loosen the bottom bolt a few turns, and wiggle the starter as you try to get the top bolt to thread. I hope this helps!

Should be able to get it from the top.

I’ve had a few evil cars myself! Thanks for watching and good luck with your repairs.
