starter?....
:agree: with Jayson. At least the starter on the 951 is a bit easier to get to than the 787's.
If you'd like to see an example of this at it's location, along with the part number and price, click on this link from our seadoowarehouse.com.

Bracket?
I see where you have the two allen head bolts out but you don't mention that you got the bracket nut off. The bracket on the back side of the starter is additional support. If you did not remove this, it's your hold up. The engine does not need to be removed to get the starter off. It would have to be removed if you needed to get at the starter drive assembly. You'd have to remove the magneto flywheel. The starter gear assembly sits behind it.
So, to double check, you have a total of "3" retainers holding the starter on.:cheers:

Not sure....
Not sure I understand you right.... But, do not take anything else off but the nut and bracket. On the back of the starter, is a place to remove the long, small bolts. There is 2 of them, they hold the starter together. Do not remove them, unless you understand how to work the brushes, they are spring loaded.
In the center of the starter is where your positive wire from the battery is connected. You need to disconnect that cable. Make sure both battery cables are disconnected before you do this work.
After you have everything disconnected, the head of the starter will only have a spindle on it, with splined teeth. It will match back up to the starter assembly when you put one back in........:cheers:

Right, things have gone from bad to worse.
Have got the starter out but the ali shoulder with the 2 rubber seals has snapped and stayed in the engine.
I,ve got a feeling that this has been done previously and stuck back with an epoxy cement.
The break between the starter and shoulder is dirty and not fresh as you would expect.
Any ideas on how to remove this, it is well stuck.

These starters only have 2 bolts on the rear bracket that secure it to the engine, not 3.

Old threads....
Oh why I hate these older threads.... When I first viewed this, I was in a manual and for some reason or the other, was looking at the setup kin to the 787 where you have the two bolts in from the front of the mag cover and a nut that holds the rear of the starter for support.
So, yes, even as you look at the link I posted in reply #3, the parts index shows both these bolts and bracket that hold this starter in place. It then just slides into the mag cover casing and is sealed by the 0-rings of the starter head.
So, good catch Chester.
No Jayele.... if you can somehow take a pix and attach it, it would better explain your position but I think Chester is right. If something was rigged, it will need to be fixed right. Don't use JB weld on a starter.......:cheers:
