This is a fantastic video and a great tutorial. Just got the car jacked up and your video was perfect for understanding how to get the top 2 bolts out with loads of extension bars! Thanks!

Man i started taking mine out, got 1 Bolt out after an hour and decided to hit an easy bolt like the one on the bracket... bruh it was already removed no wonder car didnt start. so i needa find it :c

Great video Thnk you. Gonna try the tap thing so I can start my car 👌🏽

GREAT video! About to do this on my NB.

Wobble socket those are called....just getting ready to do that job, good look ahead. I'm pulling the engine, and stater removal is one of the hardest parts. Anytime I have a two person job, like on that bottom bolt with a nut on the other side, I use vice grips to hold it from turning. Other wrenches just fall off with movement. Vice grips will usually hang on to the bolt or nut.

damn you on a mission ! i respect that. yeah the starter is always a behind to get to keep bolt

You did a great job on this video my Guy I got the same issue on my o4 for Miata oh I did all the same diagnostics before I even watch this video so I just bought the starter an hour ago and then I was like wanting to look up a video on how to change it. I just bought the car so I don’t really know anything about it.

Great video young buck. Clear and precise. Just about to change mine

Great vid. Old trick make sure you leave all the bolts a little loose until they are all threaded and in then tighten them . And wobble extensions are normally my go to. The swivels take some practice to use and they BITE !

Your funny you just earned your self a sub lol thx for the vid it’s helped a lot 😊😊

on god brody 😂 shit’s i different kind of embarrassing

I replaced my ignition switch, the battery (twice) and the starter with a rebuilt one from Advance Autos and my car still gives me hard time during start ups. Sometimes it will just clicks before the starter actually turn over. I might have to try 5 to 6 times.

bro i have this same issue except worse i have to click the key like 10-15 times its embarrassing, did you ever find out what it was

Fire vid

You can save some time by just cutting a hole in the passenger side floor .I recall having to do that because there are three bolts. The two normal ones and the stupid third one you cant get to unless you cut hole in floor

What about the safety switch on the clutch pedal or the clutch relay?

the wasn’t the issue for me, but it doesn’t hurt to check !

Well done Thank you

thanks - good work, good vid! im looking forward to getting this done...well, not REALLY looking forward to it, but....

I can totally understand attempting to get it out and failing amd having to regroup and finish the video later. There have probably been some suicides related to miata starter removal and instalation. These cars really arent that easy to work on in the first place and then the starter goes out. Its ok its doable just dont think youre going to do it in the morning an hour before you have to go to work.

Duuuudddeee I don't wanna dooo thissss

i just bought a starter from o reilys like two weeks ago, it was turning on perfectly fine. then a week later, it wouldn’t turn on. but let’s say i wait for an hour it turns on. it’s so weird im just confused. do u think it’s the starter ?

Bruh idk if you even gon see this this video a year old but I got the exact same problem I would turn the key and all I would hear is that humming sound like if it’s from the fuel pump or some but there’s no crank I have to keep trying and turning it sometimes I would get lucky and it would turn on quick or take long I got a new starter and ignition switch you think that would be happening if it’s the alternator

@@JakeCande I was ready to sell the car ( 22 years old) and an old smart guy told me to try it. Now the Miata is 25 years old and I just rebuilt the head. looks good. I am ready to do the fluid and restart the car. and a test on the starter failed. I hit it with the breaker bar and then jiggled the ignition sending wire. Boom - turned over !! I needed to see a clear pic of what to chase. Thank for your help.
