Video may be 5yrs old, but step by step instructions were spot on. Thank you!

I want to genuinely thank you. Not just for making this video and sharing it, but for HOW you made the video. Simple yet detailed instructions. I don't know a lot about how cars work and this was the first time I've ever worked under a hood. I just started a second job making deliveries so I can afford my student loan payments. Literally 5 days later, I get in my car to begin working and it won't start. After diagnosing the problem and getting a replacement starter, I found your video and was able to successfully fix my car that same day. You sir, just saved me. Don't have to pay to get it serviced and saved at least one or two days' worth of money making deliveries

Do you remember the sound your broken starter made? One click or many clicks? Mine is a single loud click.

I've never felt so accomplished in my life! Just changed my own honda accord starter thanks to your video! Thank you so much! :D

Awesome job..,, 💯💯💯👍🏽👍🏽

Excellent and detailed description on how to get this job done. Your instructions were specific and professional and a great help:) Now for a couple tips for all you DIY'ers: 1) I used a short 12mm socket and a mini ratchet to remove the + battery cable from the solenoid. It gives you more space. 2) I used a 3" socket extension & a 14mm deep socket with a standard ratchet for the starter mounting bolts. I also needed a leverage bar to attach to the ratchet to get the bolts loose. For the leverage bar, I used an old aluminum 1" wide pipe in which I just bent until it broke off. I broke off about 1' in length then used a hammer to shape the one end so that it would fit snug on my ratchet. (Note: I had 3 three inch socket extensions and noticed they were not all the same size. One was 3/8 of an inch shorter then the others which was perfect because the other extensions were making my ratchet hit the motor mount brackets which was preventing me from being able to get the bolt off. Check your extensions or compare other extensions if shopping for one because some are longer than others) If your battery J bolts are not rusted on then remove the battery because then you can slip the starter straight out from where the battery was. Mine were rusted, but I had others from a previous car so I used a mini hacksaw to hack 'em off. It saved me a trip to the auto supplier to get replacements which would have made me do it the way this guy did it in the video. IOW, it would take an extra 10 minutes to work the starter out with the battery still attached or an extra 45 minutes and $5.00 later to take a trip to an auto parts supplier to get the replacement J bolts(those are the bolts that hold the battery in place) Good luck!

Imma need luck for sure 😂

One year while I was going to college, I had no time and no money. Starter began to fail, and I just didn't have time to get it done immediately. I push-started my little civic for two weeks, the last day after a snowfall. It's pretty easy to push start a small manual vehicle. As usual, you've posted a great, comprehensive and helpful video for those who on this car. What a pain to get it out from the topside!

It is a whole lot easier to remove the battery as well as the distrubuter cap. other than that, this video was very very helpful. thank you.

Last week I replaced the starter on my daughter's '96 Accord after watching this video. I also removed the battery to simplify, and since she has a basic aftermarket stereo, anti-theft wasn't a concern. Took me 45 minutes, start to finish, so quickly that the nosy complex manager never even knew I was working on the car against the rules. Thanks for sharing your expertise, bud.

Just fixed my starter because of you bro, did it with my brother today in my 96 Honda Accord LX, God bless you for uploading this video my friend, I wish you and all your friends and family a blessed holidays.

Thanks again. I did the leaky alternator repair from watching your vids and just finished replacing my starter. Again, your instructions are awesome and gave the confidence to do the job! I went ahead and removed the battery for more room, as you said. Things went smooth. Thanks

Thanks a bunch man! I couldn't of done it without your video! I was a first timer at this, and you made it extremely simple!

Thank you for step by step real time filming of the remove and reinstall on the honda. It did save me money.

This video saved me around $1500 in towing and labor fees. Thank you so much

Thanks for taking the time to create and post this video. I was able to replace my dead starter on my 97 Accord easily with your detailed instructions. I'll definitely subscribe and review other videos of yours if I run into any further problems in the future. Thank you

Thank you for posting this video. I just replaced a starter in a 1996 Honda Accord and followed your video step by step. I did have to pull the battery out to re-connect the power cable to the starter as there wasn't enough room to get the lock washer and nut back on the bolt. Very helpful video!

Youre the man! Wouldn't have been able to do this without you! I'm no mechanic by any stretch of the imagination.

i searched for so many places to find this video the best and complete video for removal and installation of starter!! Thank YOU

just replaced the starter, and it worked. thanks for uploading this video - the detailed descriptions and shots made this repair easy. much appreciated!

We replaced my starter with this today! thanks so much!

I've replaced a starter on a '63 Opel Kadet, a '68 Chevy pickup, and a '93 Nissan 240SX. The Opel & the Chevy were dead simple, as one would expect from vehicles from that era. My Nissan, on the other hand, was a cast-iron bitch. My daughter's Accord was having trouble igniting, but she kept delaying taking it in for service, choosing instead to just crank it over for minutes on end until the engine finally caught, and thereby killed the starter that I'm going to replace tomorrow. Once I get the starter swapped, she's going to take it to a mechanic to diagnose the failure to begin combustion. However, I'm also going to make her watch at least some of this so she appreciates what a pain in the ass it was to do, because she'll be at work while I do the starter. Thanks for taking the time and effort to post this video.

And I thought the replacement on my ‘00 Prelude auto was a PITA. What great patience! Good work!

With the camera movement and all I applaud you sir. Because it's have to chance mine thank you...

Awesome video thanks for taking the time to document. This made the starter replacement on my 95 vtec auto accord a piece of cake. I removed the battery which helped access significantly at a cost of only 5 minutes. The VTEC intake tube was half of the removal and install time of one hour total.

Nice video, especially considering how tight it was. My son isn't particularly mechanical but he was able to change his starter after watching your video.

Great video!! Excellent detailed step by step instructions!! Thank you!!

Hey man I just want to say thanx, I was able to do my car with little experience by watching your video. 97' Accord

Heres a tip from an old Mechanic, never put everything together just the starter and cable and try it. I wish I had a dollar for every time I put a starter in new or rebuilt and it was DOA just saying!! Great video and very detailed.

THANKS TO THIS VIDEO AND STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS I CAN SAY I HAD NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE AND I SUCCESSFULLY CHANGED OUT AND INSTALLED AN NEW STARTER THANK YOU SO MUCH

A bit more difficult than the 90-93 Accord, whose starter is easily very accessible once the intake tube is removed. The AC lines are out of the way and there's pretty much a clear shot at every bolt except for the rear starter fastener, which does need a proper extension. But on either car, it's not a particularly difficult job in the end. MUCH harder things you can do on a car. Thanks for the video.

thanks man. it took 2 hours to swap out the starter. dam i hate those honda engineers. they must have hella small hands. just wanted to thank you, if it wasent for the vid i would not have tried to change it myself.

Just got a '95 Accord that needed a replacement starter. This helped! Thank you!

Great video. Simple tools and patiences will get the job done. But to go thru all this and it still not crank Aggh!

Thank You so much for taking the time to post this. I would have never gotten mine replaced in my 96 Isuzu Oasis without your help. On the Oasis the starter has to come out forward and you need to loosen or bend the throttle cable guide to the right about 6" to get it out. Thanks so much , Mike

Awesome job. Great video

thank you for your time . A job well done! I forgot about checking the radio and I should know better. I suggest disconnecting the battery before attempting any repairs under the hood and any electrical service. thank you.

Very useful video used to help me replace the starter on my 2000 Accord 4cyl. Although not the same engine, it was difficult getting the second bold out.

Thanks for posting, very informative and helpful

Actually was half way thru your video listening while doing the job, and you said if you want to remove the battery for space you can... I removed the battery during starter removal and went out that side. Way less issues and it came right out. Looking back should've done the whole job from there.

Appreciate the video. Thanks for passing the knowledge. Definitely made job a lil easier!!

I like your video a lot. it's really detailed. Adding info about the radio was a great practical tip.

YES! People who own this car, pay attention to getting the code for your car. Simply disconnecting the battery makes your radio DEAD. STUPID anti-theft thing from Honda. My daughter's car had to have the battery disconnected, and we looked at all options to find some sort of "silver" sticker that had a code on it that we would THEN have to use to get the code to input into the cheap-ass stereo to get it working again. Our fix?? We ripped out that shitty cassette player stereo and put in a real one. PROBLEM SOLVED. Why the hell they thought disabling a cassette deck would deter theft is beyond me...especially when all you have to do is replace it with either a decent stereo, or just replace it with any shit one. Go figure.

Excellent video, thank you big time

Thanks man it help a lot even tho my car still won't start

Worked great on my 92 but the 94 accord is refusing to accept the 13,14,15,16 mm sockets at all. As if I need a thin walled socket. Weird! Won't even go on at all. I tried different brand sockets too. Maybe it's been changed before and someone put on a odd sized bolt.

Excellent, clearly explained. Thank you.

At 10 minutes. Wow. Twice the fun to re install new or rebuilt. Can these be rebuilt?

can someone let me know if the accord starter 94to97 manual compatible with the automatic version as in is the starter the same. ?

I could not have asked for a better video because I have watched your other no start and therefore my problem is the starter! Should I buy my starter from Honda? The rubber covers at the end of the cables that attach to the solenoid are dried out and fell apart when I was looking around. Where would I get them and how would I attach them? Thank you again very very much! Excellent video, instruction and follow along demonstration! I know the recording was difficult to position the camera, but it was perfect!

do i need a power tool to get does two bolts holding the starter since they need 30 lb force or if they were previously tighten by a air socket

Thanks for the video. I’m planning to change the starter of my 2001 Accord LX in the next few days. Actually, during cold start, there is a grinding noise after I start the engine and it’s coming from the starter side of the engine but I’m not really sure if the noise is coming from the starter or the transmission. The noise will go away after I have driven the car. I read somewhere that if the bendix gear of the starter is not retracting properly, it will make a grinding noise. Have you encountered this kind of problem before? Anyway, I’m taking a chance of replacing the starter. If the noise will not go away, then I guess I have to take it to the dealer.

thank you for the video. appreciate it greatly. question. where did you get your black gloves? those look heavy duty compared to the nitrile blue ones. thanks aj

Very helpful

I forgot to add, my solenoid was hung up and starter ran all the time , even with key off. Thanks , Mike

Hey Bushou, Do you've any new videos on how to replace Captive Brake Rotors?

I just completed this myself, although I had to borrow a couple tools from my neighbor. My concern is that I feel that I didn't tighten the bolts hard enough, that is, I tightened the thing as hard as I could with my dinky ratchet but not with my neighbor's manly one. If need be, I can always take the battery out to tighten everything, but if I tightened it with a 1/2 drive ratchet, is it fine?

i agree with removing battery.....so much easier. video was very helpful.

great video. i just replaced my starter in a 96 honda accord...after i was done i cranked the car...now it cranked but right when it did crank... for maybe a half a second or a whole second it sounded really bad...kinda the same sound a car would make when some tries to hit the starter switch while the car was running... i have had this car for 4 years...im not holding the key too long... i turned it off and tried again and the second time it didnt make that sound... the next time it did though

You make it look so easy you see me I tried to pull them to the side and put my sock and on but I cant cuz my motor mount is right in the way so I can't get a socket on to the boat to get the terminal off the starter

Great video man but I highly recommended removing the battery. made my life so much easier.

Is there anything you'd recommend changing while doing this replacement?

I *had* planned on doing the fuel filter (another excellent vid, BTW), killed the engine & went after the ramps in my shed. Little did I know the starter had chosen that exact point in time & space to poop out on me. Ramps in front of the tires, ready to go, AND NOTHING. LOL! Had to walk 6 miles round trip to get the dang part because no ride & no extra money for an uber. SOOooo annoying...
