1 bolt is hard to get at If I remember.
But then yeah lets chuck the parts cannon at it before really finding its a fuse/relay
Thought you were the expert?

From my experience, the Td5 starter is easy and cheaper to rebuild.

A nut, not a bolt, but yeah!

There are enough threads on it on the forum, he'll find them with a bit of a search!
