2007 BMW X3 STARTER MOTOR REPLACE

[@goonxstize1360]

Thanks for the video I just done mine today mine had 3 bolts holding it on. I didn't replace that 3rd bolt it was to much of an hassle lol. I was so happy when it started and it's been broke down for a few weeks surprisingly the battery held it's charge. I also didn't put back that little wall. It was super hard getting it out peacefully lol

How

[@alanw5812]

@@goldiedoezit are u Australian. if you are I can tell you where I bought the tools,I will tell you how I did it after 1 hour

[@alanw5812]

first I use a long extension bar to loose the starter wire nut, and then use my kincrome 255-375mm 3/8 head ratchet to loose the two starter bolts, it have 4 lock extension, need to be angle and only that long,so it won't to long to touch the manifold, but after loose the nuts to some point, the ratchet will hit the firewall, not enough to loose and still won't turn by fingers, then need to change to use a10mm ratcheting wrench, then starter can take down from the bottom. Hope this help.

Porqué mejor no lo haces en español? Además debes mostrar como sacas las partes

[@windyelm5450]

No, I replaced starter from under the car. Use your brain. Only two bolts.
