May the force be with you!

Yes you can! I went to the DIY shop and bought this steel bar for more power:


And finally it went, the stud loosened up. Forgot to make a photo of the stud itself.


Starter finally removed and the inside of the fly wheel:


And for comparisson the old and new one next to each other. Quite a bit of difference in size. But the new one is apparently more powerful:



And it does look like it's only mounted with two screws. But I have removed in total 3 - will check it next time.



Upon checking both starters nothing happened when I hooked up the wiring of the car. UH OH!!
I suspect something else has failed. Whilst I thought the old starter motor was broken, stuck, etc I could move the little wheel, it feels it's not stuck at all. Well, I guess need to check electrics next time. On my last attempt the wiring really got hot so a lot of current must have been flowing thru it.

And earlier this week I received the following surprise. A small refund on the new starter motor! How's that!?  It costed new about € 75,- (incl. shipping from the USA to NL). But now it only costs € 62,-
