@@WheelersHoarder the 2nd time was a parts cannon misfire so this should only be the second time. Now my Napa (not a sponsor 😂) won't stop cranking. OEM from Rock Auto would be my preference but sometimes ya need it NOW and retail prices are nuts.
@@AlanBurnham 😂 that is a pain in the ass , I used to go the nearest parts store but definitely rockauto have more choices. for now anytime I replace starter or alternator I go straight to the dealership and pay extra.
It got a lot easier with the "PITTSBURGH PRO 1/4 in, 3/8 in. Drive Long-Reach Dual Flex Head Ratchet." I wish I'd had that the first time I changed the starter. The thin head really helps clear the motor mount. I think my combo for the top bolt was a standard shallow 3/8 drive 13mm socket, 3/8 u-joint, 3" extension, 3" extension, and the thin dual head ratchet. Once I broke it free I was able to sneak the M12 ratchet up there to spin it out. Maybe that'll help someone else in the future. Search google for the harbor freight $5 off pro ratchet coupon before heading to pick up the ratchet if there's not a better one available.
You definitely nailed it there , I need to buy another flex head ratchet , I lost mine and that might have made the job a lot easier with it. Plus I feel like I’m the only one on UA-cam using 25 years old wrenches 😂 😂 I need to upgrade. Definitely your comment is going to help a lot of people and I will try to add it to the description and put a special thanks to you .I will wait until go on my laptop it will be possible to copy the text
Fumbled around with the top bolt for 2-3 hours, just ran to Harbor Freight to pick up that ratchet you mentioned, 10 minutes later, its out. Thank you so much @wylee
@@DeluxeLawnandLandscape glad it helped. I couldn't believe how much easier that ratchet made it. I don't want to talk about how long it took me the first time I took that bolt out with a regular "chunky" ratchet. 🤣
That top bolt is a MFer. I'm about to do mine for the 3rd time 🤣😂
🤣😂 yes for sure it is a MFer , might stick with OEM starters they last longer .

The music is so unnecessary.
