No help to get bolt out , just suck it up and get in there
But Misti make all kinds of things for all kinds of cars , ecu's , relays etc .

Off an ausie forum those someone said a mitsi lancer 1995ish is the same starter as the 413

hey its a little easyer underneith because u can actualy see the bolt but i need to have another go at it tomorrow hope its not so frustrating.

well got the bugger off just fine, took the motor apart cleaned all the parts put back together tested before i got it into the truck and works perfectly. put in truck then turned key starter motor runs but doesnt make contact with the motor or whatever it should contact with. then found a missing peice on the floor not sure where it goes though hope someone can shed some light on this for me.

Pretty sure it goes in where the lever that slides the pinion out. It will be why it is not engaging on the fly wheel.

Have you got a hayes manual for the zuk? I have one here that I don't need if you want it.
