Re: How do you remove starter on 98 lesabre. cant find ANY helpful info I need

There should have been 2-10mm head bolts holding the bottom flywheel cover on. It sounds like that is the one you removed. The other part of the cover is held on by a 10mm head bolt thas screws in horizontally into the front of the trans/engine. With the bottom splash shield removed everything should be real easy to see and allow you better access for every part of the job. Pull the centers back out of the retainers and remove the shield. If you leave the shield on you should be able to reach the bolt with a wrench, if you remove the shield a socket and extension should work easier. When the last piece of dust cover is off the 2 starter bolts will be readily accessible. Of course have the negative battery cable disconnected, remove the 2 starter wires and the 2 bolts holding it to the engine. Should be easy from there. Good luck!
