Starter Replacement 1983

armartel · Feb 16, 2019

Hi folks,

I'm replacing the starter in my 1983 BMW R80 G/S and I can't seem to find the right tool to access the nuts. They are both in tight areas and none of my wrenches/sockets or other gadgets have allowed me to access the nuts to remove them. Anyone know what tool is most appropriate?

Are you talking about the two bolts/nuts at the rear? These are in tight quarters. Maybe something like this:

I ended up using a 1/4" drive socket and a swivel extension. I think the way to go on installation is to reverse the direction of the bolt to allow better access to the nuts.
