Basic Vehicles-Tips when come to Replacing Starter.
1. Locate the starter. It is usually located near the front of the engine, either on the side or the bottom.
2. Disconnect the battery. Before working on any part of the electrical system, it is important to disconnect the battery to prevent electric shock and short circuits.
3. Remove the starter. This typically involves removing the bolts that hold the starter in place and disconnecting the wires that are connected to it.
4. Install the new starter. Reverse the process you used to remove the old starter to install the new one, making sure that all bolts are tightened securely and all wires are connected correctly.
5. Reconnect the battery. After the new starter is installed, you can reconnect the battery and test the starter to make sure it is working properly.
It is important to consult the owner's manual for your specific make and model of car for detailed instructions, as the process can vary depending on the car. It is also a good idea to use caution when working on a car, as there are many moving parts and electrical components that can be dangerous. If you are not comfortable replacing the starter yourself, it is best to have it done by a trained mechanic.

Having some starter issues developing after 190K miles. I do have a fair amount of oil leaking/buildup in the area... So I appreciate the tip that I may need to do some TLC which might kill 2 birds, 1 stone...

[@Vehicles-Tips]

Any time sir . 😊🤙

[@IndianSummerWishes]

Thank you for posting this! The 15 bolts on my starter are super tights and I cannot get them to budge with my ratchet; but every video I've seen for replacing a Saturn starter shows them coming off just fine. Do you have any recommendations on how to loosen the bolts?

[@Vehicles-Tips]

Hmn .. 🤔 yikes .. can you reach and see where the bolt thread .. if you use some heat ..see if you can break it off while the thread bolt is hot .. might break freely … or use some P B Blaster like penetrating oil something too soak the bolt thread to loosen up over night maybe 🤔 🤨 .. worse case you might have to use some bigger breaker bar or 1/2 socket and ratchet or some longer extension bar 🤔.. I guess

[@ItchyKneeSon]

Use a breaker bar or more leverage. Sometimes, tightening before trying to loosen will help break it free, too. You just want the bolt to move *the smallest amount*. Make sure everything is clean, tight, and square. Use 6-point(hex) sockets, too. That will give you more direct surface contact to transfer the energy to the bolt head with less chance of stripping the head.

Was there 2 wires on the same top post of the solenoid?

[@Vehicles-Tips]

Yes sir, signal and Main power 12volt. But the ground is build in to Starter solenoid.. if you need far help don’t hesitate any time 🤙

[@MF-kb2nv]

@Vehicles-Tips thankyou. When I took it off, I didn't see the second wire on the top solenoid post, so when I looked up after the starter was out I seen it hanging there.

[@Vehicles-Tips]

@@MF-kb2nv nice .. some time that signal connector break off due to corrosion.. if you goin to change the wire make sure you use some heat shrink is last longer than electrical tape 🤙…
