The funny thing is I have drooped a starter on my head before… my god
that hurt. haha.
good job! needed this TODAY!
Helpful. Thanks for posting.
Question; why do you disconnect the Negative (Gnd) on the battery instead
of the Positive terminal.? Isn’t the positive (hot) terminal wire connected
directly to the solenoid and always hot. If you leave the positive on and
you was laying on the wet ground wouldn’t you get shocked ? just asking.
Very clear, simple and easy to follow. Thanks for your help. Lewis
You’re welcome. Thanks for the kind words.
can somebody tell me what shims are???
A thin, often tapered piece of material used to fill gaps, make something
level, or adjust something to fit properly.
Thanks for the kind words and GOOD LUCK, GALS!
Eric, thanks for this…we are two gals trying to save money and we are
headed out after watching your videos. Thanks so much – yours have given us
the best details. Wish us luck!!
Do you have a video of how to change a starter on an 03 honda element?
Would be nice if you did, since I have replace my wife’s
@sixtycastle, there is nothing make/model specific about changing a
starter, other than locating it in the vehicle. If you need help finding
it, just do a quick Google search. Also, are you sure you “have to replace”
the starter? Have you watched our starter troubleshooting video and
performed all the tests? Good luck!
I’ve been watching Eric the car guy for a couple of years now. All of his
videos are just as informative as this one. I highly recommend checking out
some of his other videos if this one was useful to anyone.
Way more detailed than the Autozone video. I’m actually excited to get this
sucker out tomorrow and figure out why it stopped doing its job. I’ll be
asking for a BBB unit fasho
good video
Fantastic job! Using this video and my laptop I replaced the starter motor
and solenoid on my 1993 Ford F150. Very well done. Thank you
Nicely done. Succinct and informative.
oh boy…that was fun…and easy…..I didnt even get my hands dirty……..
Why do you take jack down after putting jack stands under car, i use them
both i dont trust jacks or jack stands so i use them both.
Year, make, model and engine please?
@lustfabian, Before you replace your starter, please watch our video on
starter troubleshooting and diagnosis. At this point, I wouldn’t assume the
starter is your problem. Better to play it safe and take a couple of meter
readings. You can find the video on our YouTube channel. Good luck!
That’s great news, @Nate Vessell. You should buy your lady something nice
with all that money you saved!
Thanks, @agperea, for taking the time to comment. Good luck!
Thanks, @goodnewsauto.
my starter isnt working and im trying to change it but it is on the top but
it is under the air filter cover and hard to reach. i was trying to change
it on my acura integra ls 94. Am not sure if you guys having a video on
this car or any similar on so i could get how to do it?
Thanks @FroylanToral. We aim to please!
why do people beat on starters?? my friend had to beat his starter in place
to put screws in?
why does people buy new??? repair it noobs and save money!
Eric I found your video to be very informative…… I was quite nervous as
I am not mechanically inclined when it comes to automobiles……… But as
easy as it was in your video tutorial…….it was just as easy for
me…..Thanks a million i saved $250 bucks doing it my self…..You now
have a new subscriber!!!!!!!!
nice video. I learned something today !!
@Hyproactiveman LOL are you like 12?
Sorry, @Alejandro Velasquez, we don’t have any model specific installation
videos.
Take all precautions necessary to avoid fluid contamination to the
replacement starter. As for how to remove the lines, it is always best to
refer to your vehicles service manual.
Thank you so much for the vid. I am a relatively new wrench. Bought a1960
Willys and it has a 327 in it and I just wanted to see that I was doing
things correct. But as usual, with an open mind I learned something. Not to
torque the nuts so much to damage solenoid.
