I need to replace the starter, just turned 60K miles & have determined the starter is bad. I put the car up on jack stands today & confirmed, as expected, it's not that easy to get to. I searched the boards and found some info.
Any additional insight, if needed, would be appreciated. I am trying to work smarter, not harder, contrary to the usual. lol. Thanks
13mm socket
3" extension
swivel with electrical tape loosely around the joint
18" extension
ratchet
Approach from the pass side wheel well. You will have to go over the motor mount, and I believe over the swaybar (its been a while now)
If you can, use your fingers to guide the socket onto the bolt, and crack it loose. The rest is easy.
The first time you do it, it can be a bitch, but at this point I can have a starter out in about 15 minutes.
