Installing a starter
I'm about to buy a new rebuild starter for like $79 and I was wondering how hard it is to install? Also if anyone knows of a decent starter install tutorial?
Thanks
Thanks

1)disconnect the battery.
2)get under the car undo the 2 bolts that hold it.
3)undo the plugs and wires to starter.
4)pull out starter
now reverse that with your new one. Hope that helps.

That's about right, super easy. And I hate it when other people say this, but I know I just saw this very recently in this forum.

It's damm easy when you know where the thing is..
All ya need is a 14mm spanner..
Putting it back in is a bit more fun, but if you slide the top bolt through then you can do the rest from in the engine bay.
I've replaced mine 4 times in as many months... i'm not kidding, i've had no end of troubles.
Finally bit the bullet and bought a reco'd one though.. alot more expensive but at least it works.
