How to replace starter? - S13

[lolatclint]

My starter gave out last night and I'm gonna be ordering another one. And I'm wondering if anyone can explain how to replace it with maybe some pics example if possible.

Thanks

uhh theres 2 bolts holding it on to the bellhousing.

take off the bolts and unplug it. done.

have you seen a starter before?> or just too lazy to look?

[lolatclint]

yeah. theres one bolt on the bottom and top right? and i just want to make sure because i dont wanna mess up any of the wires.

Hey, give him a break. If he never had a reason to locate it before then why would he? We all have to learn sometime. I just replaced mine for the second time. It's super easy. Make sure you disconnect the negative battery terminal before you start working or you could electrocute yourself.

disconnect the battery 1st then just take off the power wiire and the ground wire and take the 2 bolts off.....replace in reverse order....

^^^ Yes, what he said.
Another word to the wise; ratcheting wrenches WILL be your friend and speed the process:

woot for phlip. just make sure u dnt loosen the bolts all the way or the starter will fall off your face. shit is heavy. good enough to break your nose or more. haha. :bash:



like everybody says. dc your negative. check the wires before working.
