Super Jet 650 starter removal with OEM pipe???

[Yamer-Jammer]

Hey guys, anyone know a trick on how to get the starter out on a bone stock square nose? A buddy of mine told me to rotate it, in order to make it clear the big bulky OEM exhaust manifold/chamber. I just don't see enought room in there for the stater to come out... Do I have to remove the OEM exhaust?

I think its easier to just remove the pipe completely.

Yes you have to completely remove it

With all the hassle you would have trying to get a wrench in/on/under/around it, it's easier to just yank the engine IMO.

Thank you everyone for your input. I really didn't want to pull the exhaust apart, but it sounds like that has to be done. Thanks again!

The stock exhaust manifold lets you remove the starter bolts, but pulling the starter itself out is impossible.

Last time I did one, broke a bolt off in the manifold..
