How to change the starter on a 2011 Honda Odyssey

After our Honda starting making a weird noise when starting, I decided to change the starter. It solved the issue, and now it is back on the road.

This tutorial saved me a trip to the mechanic! Thanks for posting! It’s true that it takes a bit of finesse to remove the bottom screw. I bought a remanufactured starter and I was able to get it all done in about 4 hours. My odyssey started right up!

great video! Got the part on amazon and will replace soon

I have had a screeching sound on cold start up for the last 5-7 years on my 2011 Odyssey. It can't be the power steering pump so I assume it is the starter drive overspinning (i.e doesn't detract fast enough from the flywheel). I hope it isn't wrecking my flywheel because it still starts my car. And it only makes noise in cold weather.

My car has been doing this exact same thing to!!!!!!! Did you find an answer on this?

[@Watchman999]

@@essunset6 LOL. I haven't checked my starter yet. But it does it almost every time I start it these days with temperatures well below zero.

PIA better to pay someone to do ! The battery tray is a problem then the lower starter bolt needs a breaker bar and no room to use the bolts are very thight from the factory same set up as a ford edge

[@MitchellGraff]

How much do you think the replacement would cost having to pay someone to do it? It looks like it takes several hours of labor.
