Good stuff Barry 👍 I'm glad you mentioned to remove the hardest bolt/nut first and why. Not many people would realize that.

This is very good video. Thank you!. I used this to replace the starter on a 2006 3.0L. I struggled hard to get the bolts lose to get the battery tray out. Not so much on the starter. While at it, I also replaced the positive battery terminal and the negative battery terminal. BTW the torque on the lower bolt is 47 lbs-ft, on the top bolt is 33 lbs-ft and on the positive terminal bolt on the starter is 7 lbs-ft Thanks again for the nice and detailed video.

As others have already said, this is a very good instruction set! I finished the job in a little more than an hour--then did it again even faster because the "brand new" starter I bought wasn't working. The hardest part of the whole job was getting lower-back battery tray bolt loosened. I'm not sure I needed the 1/2" breaker bar a bought, but it made getting the first 1/4 turn of those bolts coming off very easy. And now I have a cool, long 1/2" breaker bar that I don't feel guilty about purchasing since I saved so much money doing the job myself. Again, great video!

Fantastic instructions! Just finished replacing mine and the step by step really helped. I did drop the bolt too. Did the goodntight German way too. Thanks!

Thank you so much! got my 2003 Honda Accord going again after it sat unused for too long during the pandemic. Appreciate that you called out all the bolt size saved me so much time guessing and I started with the long HFT breaking bar rather than working my way up to it.

This was an excellent tutorial, exactly what I needed. Thank you and I hope you are doing well.

I just replaced my starter. Thanks for the video. It was a great help. I probably never would of tried to do it without the easy step by step instructions in this video.

Thanks for your awesome video, it’s all in a detail! This was a huge help and the fact that Honda put that starter where they did made it even easier.

Just changed out my daughter's starter and your video was the one I preferred... great video and great explanation...

like so many others I just finished installing one exactly as you laid out step by step and it cranked first try! thank you for the instructions but also for the little tips throughout. very thorough and saved me a lot of money!

Glad I found this. I read that they put locktite from the factory on the starter bolts. I don't have but a small 3/8 drive set so I needa find bigger tools

Good advice about starting with the harder bolt first. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your video. It helped me out a lot. And you were right about removing the most difficult bolt first. I removed the top on first and had to hold the starter to turn the bottom bolt.

You sir are a beauty, this video was excellent ! Very detailed and easy to follow. I had my starter changed out from start to finish in about a half hour . Thank you so much for posting this video! Have an awesome day .

Good job, my friend. I have a Honda Accord V6 3.0 2003 and I need to change the starter motor, watching your video I'll be able to change it. Thank you very much for the video.

Fabulous instructional video. I rate it a 10 out of 10 👍🏾

Wish changing starters on Detroit diesels were this easy good video on this thumbs up.

THANK YOU...for sharing. Watched and very much enjoyed.

just finished this job on my 04 accord. Step by step as you did. Starter bolts were difficult, but the breaker bar did it for me as well. Thanks a million for the video.

Cool stuff, I hope he has more videos on this car.

big shout out man, I know nothing about cars, don't even know how to check tire pressure tbh, but I followed the steps in this video and was able to replace my honda accord starter. Thank you for also mentioning the 17 mm size to it helped me find parts at store easily. Saved me money thank you brotha

I'm gonna have to buy the shorter extension though. I have the long one for the transmission fill.

Thanks that was a great help, I’m going to change mine as I get intermittent starting when turning key ,,

Awesome Video!! I less than an hour!!! I’m not a mechanic. Thank you!

Great job. Clear and helpful description of each task. I had my starter stop working after getting gas. I tapped on started no start. I tapped again with rubber hammer, then rocked car a bit and it started. It seems like it may be wiring or selonoid connection to just stop working like that. No noise like your starter when trying to start. It made a click one time, then no sound while trying to start. Just seems like an electrical issue more than a frozen starter. Starters start around $130 rebuilt/$171 or higher new. Then one hour for a mech, add $90-100. Very expensive for a starter replacement. I may save the $95 my mech wants and do it myself? Thanks for your experience.

Excellent video. I just replaced my starter and so far so good. Thanks for the help!!!

Excellent video, thank you sir.

Thanks to you and this video I probably saved like $500

Pro tip for any of your viewers, if you have a starter doing this often times you can free up the starter by hammering on it. Take a hammer and beat the snot out of the starter, it will usually free it up long enough to get you home or to the garage for a proper repair.

I was stumped on the bolt underneath the tray closest to the front of the car then realized you just need a 6 inch extension and easy peasy

I actually had to use a 2' extension and 1/2 inch impact wrench through the Wheel cover once.

I recommend using an OBD saver connected to a jump pack from the OBD 2 port. Will avoid loosing presets and having to go through the Honda BS with the radio security code. Like anyone is going to steal a Honda stock radio anyway. Thanks Honda for being a PITA.

Goodntight!! I’m using that

Thank you!

first thing is to do is check for voltage at starter and then do a voltage drop test at starter thats how you TRULY diagnose a starter issue....

What’s the torque?

hi not to bad nice work

German Torque!!! That was funny.

You can leave the battery on if you have extender wires on hand. Besides, it's just the starter, i've done it before and it had no ill affect on anything. Never understood why it's so damn difficult for manufacturers to have a secondary battery that gets used solely to maintain presets and information. Old digital clock had them, hand held radios had them, it's not like it's an alien thinking method.

I got the 6 in extension and I’m still stumped on the bolts for the battery tray . Some help explain how you got to them

thankss jo

Hope you got a good one from carquest

Anyone know what that battery sleeve or wrap is called? Mine mysteriously does not have it.

You used a carquest starter did you have to replace that? Denso starters only nothing else
