well ill take it that u have an EGR valve sitting underneath your inlet manifold. the way that i deal with it is jack up the sump (keep the mount as it is. it will have a bit of stretch in it)to the east side and that will give you enough room to get the starter motor out from the bottom.
its not that hard Smile

Yeah I had the same problem, there stuff all space to get it out.

I changed 1 in a TD sedan manual.

First I removed the wires, than removed the bolts/nuts holding it in. (probably where you're @)

To get it out I turned/pulled it to the front of the motor and pulled it out INFRONT of the upper radiator hose.
(hard to explain)

Used same method to put the new one in. (in reverse)

Just play around with it, u will find a way to move it past the steering arm.

Hope this helps.
