Hi

Could any of you give me an idea of the space available between the starter and the alternator on a 30v V6?
ie. Would it be possible to replace the starter without loosening the serpentine and alternator?

Thank you in advance.

Maybe on a lift but even then its still gonna be difficult.

 

idk about the tip but on my car, the starter is pretty far away from the alternator. at least 2 feet i'd say. why would replacing the starter have anything to do with taking the belt off? i've never seen a car that's like that

 

I doubt 2 feet... the whole engine is about 2 feet long maybe. The alternator and the starter is at opposing ends but on the same side of engine. I just want to know if someone can tell me if there is enough room to get the bendix end of the starter out without disturbing the alternator.
