A basic rundown of a starter removal and replacement on a Saturn sl1, same procedure on an sl2 with a few helpful tips and tricks on how to make this job reasonable for someone who needs their car to function and could use a bit of insight into the job itself
Big thanks for this video. Made the job a breeze all things considered. You the man!
Bolts very tight for 13mm. Have to take it shop
Alternator fix didn't do what i needed to do i need location of starter
Very informative! I will be performing my first starter change today, thanks for all your help Chuck! 🙂
Can't believe more people didn't like the video?!
Anyways, I guess my hands are bigger than I thought, but I got it off and on in about an hr (kept dropping the back bolt).
Anyways, thank you for posting!
Hey how aré you,,thanks for sharing this video
I have replaced my starter and opted to install a double ended stud and nut instead of fighting the bolt on the backside of the starter going in. worked wonders
GM part # 1589054, this is hardened 8.98 and higher, you will need a nut for it , M8 x 1.25 it will have to be Hardened 9.8 nut
this will work for all saturns 91 – 02 with the 1.9l motor, not sure for the 2.2
Great project car – my neighbor has one as a daily driver though probably pays more for filling it up than the thing is worth especially with sky-high gas prices.
