Starter — removal and installation (Opel Zafira A)

The starter is secured with two bolts on the right side of the cylinder block at its rear.

To carry out the work, you will need an inspection pit or overpass.

4. Using a 10 mm wrench, unscrew nut 2 securing the wire to the ST terminal of the pull-in relay and remove the wire.

5. Using a 13 mm socket wrench, unscrew the lower starter mounting bolt (the bolt is screwed in from the cylinder block side).



6. Using a 12 mm socket wrench with an extension, unscrew the nut securing the ground wire to the upper starter mounting bolt.
