Starting System- Starter Replacement S/M Fix

SIM Fix: Starter Replacement, '02-06 RSX

You need to do a bit of tweaking to the 02-06 RSX S/M. The procedure to replace the starter motor is wrong. Truth is, you can't remove the starter motor without first removing the intake manifold. On page 4-11 under Removal, you need to add a new step afier step 2 to remove the intake manifold.

On page 4-13 under Installation, you need to add a new step afier step 6 to install the intake manifold.

Mark up your copies of the S/M to reflect these changes. We've already made these changes in ISIS.
