Swivel sockets will give you much of an angle its a limited space down there you should be able to do it just take your time .

Did you end up getting it from the bottom?

@@Drzfantasy no I took the whole Manifold off it was easier

@@SoCal_ ok good to know. Did you have to take the throttle body completely off? I’m going into this job myself 😂

@@Drzfantasy yes I took everything off for better access it’s not hard maybe the bolt on the left bottom of the intake manifold is the trickiest it fell off 2 times I had to tape it lol I also let the T bracket loose and pull it it’s bit forward. Your gonna have to take the bolt in the front middle of the manifold using 2 nuts one backwards and then tighten it to take the stud out it was a process but since it’s not my daily I took my time ,

@@SoCal_ thank you! Wish me luck haha

Note- instead of risking hard-to-get-to knock sensor, i instead only broke the tiny clip from the imrc connector which I fixed with some grease and a ziptie 🤣

I do have small hands and a chicken arm so its a plus 💪 😂that bolt in the back wasnt even hard to remove .

@Dayb82484 Duckky dude the 14 on top took me like 120ftlbs to break loose from the top with a huge extended breaker bar lol. Original with 188k miles on a 05 base auto

I have a 2006 Acura Rsx. I also owned a Honda Prelude b4 so I am familiar with this job as I changed the starter on both cars. The Prelude didn't have anything hiding the starter so it was simple, 3 bolts to remove old one and then replace with a new starter. 10 minutes job. I'm not a professional mechanic, but I'm a man, so I can do the job, given all the proper tools, which I have. The Acura Rsx was a pain because you have to remove the intake manifold as it's hiding the starter. You also have to remove the front hinge of the car next to the radiator and also the battery. Not too difficult but alot of bolts and stuff to remove. Also the air filter hose. All this is necessary to get easily at the starter, which is hidden beneath the manifold. After all that removal, basically 5 minutes to swap out the old starter for the new one. A long breaker bar wrench is needed for the starter to come out as it's wedged in a tight spot. I had all the correct tools but still needed 2 hours for the job. But I didn't have to break my back or exert myself. I didn't even need my impact wrench for this one. Breaker bar and socket wrenches only. So I don't know what this guy is saying because from underneath it's a Tom Cruise job.....Mission Impossible.

Serious Design flaw in the Acura Rsx. Starter is hidden and wedged in a place that you really have to remove the battery, front hinge, air filter hose, and intake manifold to get a clear path to remove the starter, and then a long breaker bar wrench to remove the bolts. There is no other logical way to do this. Acura did that on purpose so you go to them for this relatively simple job.

If its for that car then yes , after market would work but you should ask the guyz at autozone they will look it up for you

Yes it did solve the noise problem , and yes i did bleed the system by turning the steering wheel all the way left and all the way right when its idling i did it several times .

Thank you for watching ,the replacement comes with 2 oring so i replaced them both it has a weird noise so Specially early in the morning on start up that o ring leak out over time tha car has 160k miles

You should be able to get it down once those bolts is removed

Moreno12 its pretty straight forward get a long socket and a ratchet some other folks use u joint but i didnt use that ,you have a limited leverage in there that bolts on the back top of the starter came loose very easy on mine you going to have those wiring connections unplugged yeah i should have recorded during the process on taking that off and putting it in its kinda hard to record the entire process without extra hand... its a simple task to do just pe patient and dont rush be very careful of that knock sensor once you have all the bolts removed you will have to pull back towards that knock sensor side mine broke off easily but its not big of a deal i replaced it with aftermarket from oreilly , and be very careful doing this hopefully you have small hands like me you dont want your hands get stuck when doing this .putting that long bolt behind that starter give me a hardtime lining into that hole,i wraped the long socket into that bolts so it wont move that much while screwing it in kinda wiggle that starter back and fort ,i did this by feel because you wont be able to see it underneath the car .once you have that screw in you are good to go

Dayb82484 Duckky I am working on a 2005 civic si. There’s nothing on UA-cam on how to do that. This is as close to the si that there is but I looked under and I can’t see how I can do it

Moreno12 i think the civic has more clearance than the rsx’s because of the intake manifold design not so sure though .,you should be able to see the starter from underneath they have the same configuration if im not mistaken ,make sure you jack the car up enough and use jack stand i used 4 jack stand 2 each side in the front better safe than sorry , also use flash light so will have a better view.starter has two bolts one in the back top and one in the bottom

DRNHO need to unscrew it i bought the tools from harbor freight just pry it away from the backing its like kinda start from the bottom and slide it out to the top

Dayb82484 Duckky what’s the bit or tool called? Thanks

Robert A star key set /torx i forgot the size i used you should be able to use one of the set i got it from harbor freight
