C55 Starter Removal
I've searched around and I haven't seen a writeup or instructions on how to access and remove the start in a C55. I've had the battery tested and it's strong. The crank is very slow and it hardly turns over sometimes. I had two auto stores test the battery and starter, and both of them said the starter is faulty.
I had a look at the starter and it looks like the downpipe needs to come off of the manifold. Do I need to take the whole exhaust pipe off back to the y pipe? Is there anything else that needs to come off once the cat is out of the way?

It’s a little tricky to remove the Starter.
Don’t need to remove the Exhausts.
The starter can be removed by different angle
You try & you’ll know
Mine Starter replaced
