First of all why did u replace your starter, mine is having a slow start, I thought it was the battery

Timetryp says:

It took me about 8 hours to do this job. Access was the issue – there is no space to work in. The bolts were difficult to break loose and problematic to get to. Removing the exhaust pipe is not necessary – the starter can be removed to the side. The higher the vehicle can be lifted, the better. That was an issue too, as my hydralic equipment is limited. Having done it once, the next time probably would be faster.
Your video helped.

I want to thank you for making this video, you saved me $200 – $300 in labor. I am a novice, so it took me 5-6 hours 🙂 You are the boss-boss. Oh yeah, good thinking wearing the gloves too. You are the man…

Loy Moser says:

Thank you for the video. Showing how you undid clips, not just pointing at a clip and saying, "Undo this clip" made your video so much better. Thank you for including wrench sizes and showing you actually doing all the steps. After using your video to help me change a starter, I appreciate the filming of all the little details even more, there is not much room in there for hands and wrenches, but you got a light an camera in there too.

Where did u purchase your starter?

Bob Kontak says:

I disagree with the music push back. Backyard Chevy just has a soft voice that is not always able to be heard clearly. You don't need the music or his voice to figure out what he is doing because the video quality is so damned good. Nice work.

I did take the exhaust pipe off but I have a lift and torches. I also am working on a coupe which is tighter with respect to access but the video is top notch.

On the coupe I went in from the wheel well on the top bolt.

Used this video to replace a Honda Civic starter today, 10/10 would recommend using this video!

Timetryp says:

You obviously didn't remove the exhaust pipe, as called for in the manuals.  How long did this job take you to do?  That music drove me nuts.

Pedro Clemente says:

Grate help, just next time no music

John Gordon says:

This was VERY VERY VERY helpful. Thanks so much!

None of the following need to be removed to replace the starter. the Manifold, exhaust, axles, and wheel can be left alone. It's much easier as a technician with a full car lift, but start by removing the metal bracket connected to the manifold. Two 10mm and on 12 mm bolt, then begin removing the two 8mm bolts off the bushing/motor cover (also retaining the harness) then you will have access to the two starter retaining bolts, and the power wire, with the communication connector. Its a pain in the ass but with the right tools and experience this is an hour job, book time calls for an hour and a half. I passed the starter past the axle and trans. Removing the cover may cause the Starter to fall apart on you, but that almost makes it easier to manipulate. If re-manufactured then put it back together and ship the core off as usual. As for installation, the power harness may be tricky to put in and line up, so firstly place the starter in place, retaining bolts, then apply the power harness and connector.

Raya Sou says:

Thank so much for sharing this very helpful video, I was able to replace the starter.

David Hendrickse says:

Taking the starter off was good and informative. but you did not show how to get it back on. Music is not helping you. Please abandon the music.

kyle Northcutt says:

Thanks for the video I just did mine, would not have had a clue without this

James Keeler says:

Thanks for the tips. I found that separating the cv axle from the hub but leaving it attached to the transaxel gave me plenty of room to move around.

Richard Nyomouf says:

It's hard to hear you talk with the music.

Grace says:

Great video thanks for sharing
