The bolts don’t matter actually you can reuse the starter bolts. It’s for other bolts that actually go into the engine that matter

The only problem with this method is, if someone peels off a portion of the sticker, now the sticker is defaced and will need to be replaced. I don't think having a sticker with missing pieces will be acceptable when cops see it.

You know what maybe I’ll just carry the tags in my car somewhere, or in my purse that way if I get pulled over I’ll say I have them, I just don’t wanna put them on my car because someone will probably take them,😂 of course then I’ll accidentally throw them out of my purse thinking it’s an old reciept

You are wrong. You don't have to re-register the battery to the vehicle after disconnecting

Just need a screw driver and I can steal ur whole plate 😂💀😭

Is there any verification system for this? I mean, If i can steal someones sticker, and if that works, why not just take a picture, put it in Photoshop then print it from printer? Both of us will have the same sticker and it shouldn't be a problem since there is no verification for that license plate. Note: I live in Turkey and this video just interesting to me because even here we have a system that all license plates are registered. Any payment (like tax) automatically registered to your plate. If you miss the payments or inspection. system will automatically show this when the police check the license plate from the system. If you wanna know that is there any missing thing, you can always do it online government system. Paying tax for it, taking appointment for inspection etc. everything can be handled online.

Just did our tag and cut it too plus brought a cover to protect the tag also. I don’t understand why the dmv doesn’t give to two. One for the back of your license 🪪👍🪪👍🪪

Someone stole my sticker if I get pulled over I get a fine? Just because someone wants me to pay for them to drive their car. In my state I have to pay for another sticker

as someone who just moved to a state that has stickers thank you!

Great idea. Also take a picture of your license plate on you phone. So if you do get pulled over, you can show the officer.

great video. love how you assess and talk about the car!

Make more videos

What if they take the whole plate?

Some how they took off mine and left the sticker under it

Thank you so much

For the guys who never had a Mom or Dad show you this

It won't work cuz all u have to do is peel the old sticker off that they put on top but yea ill take all stickers off carefully even if in pieces just gotta piece it back together not that hard

Police run ur plate not ur sticker, 🤫🤫

Up here in michigan, our tabs say right on them pretty much everything you would need to know, month and year of expiration, plate number, and a little p if you have a park pass, along with what i have to assume to be offical state numbers for the tab itself. Stealing tabs up here wouldnt help anyone

Thank you

I saw this vid so many years ago, and just yesterday I noticed my tags were missing. Lol.

Right on man. THanks so much for making this video. My 08 x5 3.0si decided it didn't want to start up yesterday.

I know the secret to removing that top bolt without any problems I done mine already

Hitler Newsom, doing nothing

Thanks for sharing.

Is this legal?

I thought the tag is only for show, the real registration is with the records at the dmv. Stealing someone's sticker will do nobody any good.

Should not be an issue in FL where the tag has your license plate number printed on it.

I needed this. Best video re: this on KZbin! Thanks 🙏🏾

Tnx

They stole mine even though I cut it multiple times.

Is this still an issue? In FL the cops don't check the stickers, their cars run the plate number and get the registration info. I leave the sticker on my registration card so anyone that's thinking about stealing my tag will think it's expired. If a cop ever makes an issue out of it, I'll just get out and put the sticker on. *shrug*

HOW ABOUT THIS FOR A PRO TIP. you're literally the 5th person i've seen on youtube pull the whole dam plenum off when you can so simply get to this from the bottom of the car without taking anything off, not even the skid plate! If you have a BMW X5 2005-2009 at least with a 3.0 L6 DO NOT DO WHAT YOU SEE IN THIS VIDEO, YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO JACK THE CAR UP BECAUSE IT'S HIGH ENOUGH TO JUST GET UNDER IT ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND PULL THE STARTER OUT THAT WAY. I'VE DONE ATLEAST 40 OF THESE STARTERS WORKING ON BMWS. IT ONLY TAKES 1.8 HOURS IN THE BOOK.

Wouldn't work in Ohio. The license plate number is on the sticker. Pretty obvious when it doesn't match. And no one around here steals license plates to begin with.

Wow!! You have to disconnect the negative battery anyways cause the starter cause the other cable is constant + .. so lots of Sparks

Ya someone stole my tags ,I didnt even notice till I was pulled over by the cops

OMG ! this is olde news sir.. been doing this.ovr 40 years. But thank you kindly. Next !! ??

When you were taking off the intake manifold you did not tell them about that big o nut that was holding on the intake manifold.that has to be taking off too doesn't it🌝😁

My sticker just got stolen 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

The best way to keep your registration tags from getting stolen is to move out of libtard paradise California

You can use a 6 point wrench there of the size of bolt that you need

Thank you.

How long did it take you to remove everything to get to the starter? and how long did it take you to put it back together?

I wished that California DMV would stop giving out and requiring us to have month and yearly registration tags for the license plate. It's so annoying and irritating of this bull shit, over an annual sticker. California can ban registration stickers and registration theft for good. If this was on the ballot I would vote YES for eliminating registration stickers. The State of California Issuing out Registration tags olny creates theft and other problems combined. Texas and Pennsylvania does the same crap already, wake CA legislators. #BanRegistrationTags

I was hoping you would have talked about the seals you bought maybe some part numbers for the seals n bolts. Good video thsnks

This does not apple to Pennsylvania

I appreciate your video..., best one on here so far..., how did you get the rear bolt in?

Great informative vid, thanks for sharing!! AAA+

a good upgrade are the e34 solid rubber mounts, they are much cheaper and last a lot longer and are a bit stiffer for more spirited driving

but then they fuck up your sticker, leaving you to explain to the officer why you cut your sticker into pieces
