Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I would have
never found that back bolt if it wasn’t for this. I just mounted my new
starter, now to hook up the electrical and try her out! THANKS!
This was a great video, clear, short, and to the point. It convinced me to
take on this task myself. I didn’t have any issue getting the new one lined
up with the bolts. My tip on that is to check on the old starter how the
teeth are lined up, and rotate the teeth on your new starter to match
before trying to install it. Got it on the first try.
This was an AWESOME video – well done and VERY well explained. Saved me a
ton of time trying to figure out.
Thank you!
This helped me so much to work on my brother in law’s car! Now I look like
a hero, lol. Thanks!
but you can see the cable running between the one nut and the starter body.
Leave that one.
I am currently doing the same thing. My problem is that I can not get the
electrical connector to go back in. any advice on how to get the stupid
clip to go in. Thanks for posting the video.
D Dman, That’s unusual. Don’t force it. I’m wondering if it’s just turned
around, or the plastic is bent in such a way that the clips are blocked. It
has to be simple, so don’t use force. And check to see if the holes are not
plugged with something.
thanks, this saved me a lot of time finding that top bolt!!
You’re welcome. It’s always good to hear it’s making the job easier and
quicker.
Now that’s cool. Good job and you’re welcome.
Just the battery cable one. The other is a cable that runs from the
solenoid (the smaller cylinder) into the housing of the starter. Just leave
that one. You can look at 2:42 and freeze it and see the one nut still
attached.
EXACTLY what I needed. Thanks for posting!!!
Thank you sir! Great video..saved me lots of time trying to figure it out
myself.
Thank you sir. I looked all over for that other bolt and figured that one
was for the transmission.
I just got my girlfriend’s car fixed in Ghana. In fact, access to the
starter is much easier when you take off the fan which itself is so easy to
remove.
Thx for the making the clutch video!! Why not make a timing belt
replacement video also for the same car? I’ll definitely buy that one too
lol plz make it!!
well, I guess I screwed the battery cable nut back on so I wouldn’t lose it
so they’re both on at that point I guess.
Changed my starter today and thanks to your video, it went smoothly! Thanks
bro!
Cool, thanks for posting that! I’m just killing time waiting for the tow
truck to get here with my wife and her ’03 Corolla with a dead starter.
This will take the guesswork out of changing it.
sweet! you’re welcome.
Thanks!!!! I couldn’t find the other screw for nothing!!!!! Good video!
Please post more!
well, this car is my friend’s and he doesn’t need a timing belt 🙁 But
your request is duly noted should he soon need one.
The trick was remoing the radiator fan. One bolt on each side and unpluging
the electrical connector. Once I wiggled it out I could see the one starter
bolt. The I did have to take out the battery and the plate and use a long
extension as described in the video. Removing the fan keeps from getting
under the car.
Do I loosen both bolts at the top of the cylinder?? Or just the one battery
cable one??
You’re welcome. very cool. Glad it’ll help.
I am about to replace the starter on my mothers ’06 S. Someone replaced the
battery and didn’t put the hold down back on. Four years later, the support
behind the driver head lamp wore a hole in the corner of the batt. The
fumes created corrosion, which damaged the battery that killed the starter
solenoid. Still starts after tapping the starter.
Sweet. Glad it helped.
As MrCltrevino says, get that fan/shroud off by unbolting the two 10mm
bolts on each side of the shroud, unplugging the fan connector, removing
the tube from the radiator cap, snipping the wire ties hold the wire to the
shroud then lifting up. No need to remove the radiator guard underneath or
climb under. Great video though, thanks for the help!
Good video, I replaced my starter today, the fan shroud was easy to remove,
just disconnect the fan electric connector, cut the tie wraps that is
holding the cable, remove the two bolts (one on each side) just look down
and you will see it, release the radiator overflow bottle tube and that’s
it, just pull the shroud assembly straight up, you can then see and work
better because of more room.
I’ve heard this so much [removing the fan is easier] but have never seen a
posted video. Glad someone can do it more easily.
Just changed my starter. Took less than 1 hour. Easiest way is to remove
the fan and remove the throttle body. That back bolt is hard to get to.
My bolts went back in no problem. I started the lower with just a few
threads in, got the back started and tightened everything up.
Thanks for the video!
