    Thanks for a great video and easy to follow instructions. I have a 2013 Honda Accord with 40K miles on the clock. Starter has been having problems, and would only start every 7-10 cranks. I couldn't believe the starter went out at such low mileage. Bought a replacement Honda starter online ($344). It took me less than 1 hour to complete the starter replacement, using jack stands and work laying on my back. I used a 14mm swivel socket and long extension for the lower bolt, and a 14mm regular length socket for the top bolt. I had a harder time putting the lower bolt back on, than putting the top bolt back on. But with some patience, they went back on. I folded back the rubber boot on the battery lead wire before reattaching the lead to the starter and tightened the nut. This job saved my $700. Thanks again for the tutorial.

    At 4:23 I think is much easier if you put the TOP BOLT inside the starter hole, before bringing the Starter to position it on its place. I mean putting in the top bolt in the starter's hole while you still have the starter under the car, and holding the bolt with your hand so it won't fall, while bringing the starter to its place and installing the bottom bolt. That way you DON'T have to BLINDLY FIND THE TOP HOLE, when it will already be inside the top hole of the starter. Youll Just push it in and screw it in, since it will already be inside the starter's top hole. I'm saying because that was MUCH EASIER and quicker. Just sharing my opinion, thanks for a helpful video.

    Just did mine. 2017 accord. 80k miles. So the switch out seems easy enough, being that its only 3 bolts. However the location and limited space to work with is the hard part. I could only work with one hand. Be patient and dont get frustrated. It felt good, not only to save some money, but just to fix your own car. Not bad for a first timer.

    Thanks for the vid, saved me a ton a money! I was able to do it with the car on jacks, made it a bit of a jedi training exercise to find the bolts, but got it handled. Only issue I ran into was the rebuilt unit I bought from Pep Boys had a 13mm nut, rather than the OEM 12mm nut, on the lead from the battery. I was able to get this done using a standard 3/8" drive 14mm socket with 1.5" and 3" extensions; didn't wind up using a universal joint.

    Very accurate video and description about how to install a starter into a 2013 Honda Accord. Having just completed installing it, I would like to add that this is a job best done on a lift. I completed the job on my back with the car on ramps, twice! I was about to complete installation of the first starter when the positive terminal connector broke while tightening the nut for the positive wire. After taking off the starter again, I compared the new one that broke with the old one that died. The positive wire terminal of the old starter was integrated into the starter housing and was made of much stronger plastic than the new one. I literally hit the old terminal with a rubber mallet several times and it did not break. The new one broke with minimal torque while replacing the nut on the terminal bolt. While I love being a diy'er, I don't think I would do this job again without access to a lift. Thanks How to Automotive for a great video!

    I am the original owner of a 2013 Honda Accord LX 2.4 L with 17K miles. About 6 months ago I started having an intermittent starting problem (turn the key, dash lights come on, 1 click from the engine compartment and the engine didn't crank at all). At first (about 6 months ago) it would only happen perhaps once per month until a week ago it was happening every few days and quickly went to almost every start attempt. Previously, the Honda dealer couldn't find any error codes and couldn't duplicate the problem until this past week when it was routinely failing and they diagnosed the problem as a bad starter which I had them replace. Their starter cost was $486 and took 2 hours of labor @ $125/hr to replace. Given that the car came with a 36 month warranty, I guess that Honda designed the starter well as it lasted 38 months before starting to fail.

    My starter just died last night. 2013 Honda Accord Sport with 158K on it. Had to have it towed and will have a local service repair put in a non oem. I plan on running this into the ground so hope to get another 150K out of it. Fingers crossed. Great Vid. Thanks.

He was showing me that it goes underneath a lot of parts, therefore making it nearly impossible (according to him) to do it himself. Honda wants $98.00 for the cable & $ 120.00 on labor. Do you you guys think it's doable, or only the dealer can do this w/o damaging other parts. Thank you all !

    First of all, thank for you this video.
    Couple of questions:
    1) Do you know what part would go into a 2015 Accord EX-L? I'm thinking a 9 tooth from everything I'm reading online.
    3) Remanufactured and refurbished parts are different correct? Remanufactured can still be new, but refurbished pretty much means it's been used and fixed if I'm not mistaken. Do you recommend using a refurbished Honda Accord OEM starter or putting in a new remanufactured one like the Bosch SR1355x? Because wouldn't another Honda Accord starter just mean it would fail again? Mine has started to fail at 47K miles, doesn't that mean it'll eventually do it again if I put in the same defective part?

    I changed the starter on my 2009 Honda Civic. It was one of the hardest things I have done and I have rebuilt engines and serviced transmissions. The process is fairly simple but the location of the starter is such that if you want to do it without removing exhaust or mounting brackets it become almost impossible, specially if you have big forearms. I took it as a challenge to myself that I can do it without removing the components out of the way and it took me a good 5 hours. Hindsight 20/20 I could've done it in a couple of hours if I had done it the other way.
    How hard is it to reach the bolts and sensors on a 2013 Accord? The reason I am asking even after watching the video is that the video I watched for the 2009 Civic also seemed easy but it was not.

After finished pumping the gas, the vehicle wouldn't start, and stall there at the pump for a long time until I got help to push it to a parking space so people behind me to pump their gas. After 30 minutes of inactivity, I pressed the start button, and it turned on as normal, and I was able to drive home. What's wrong with this model and year??? Is it a keyless access control unit and software issue??? HELP!!
