dude you make putting the starter back in look so easy, I literally want to cry trying to put it back in

Thank you for the video. Showing how you undid clips, not just pointing at a clip and saying, "Undo this clip" made your video so much better. Thank you for including wrench sizes and showing you actually doing all the steps. After using your video to help me change a starter, I appreciate the filming of all the little details even more, there is not much room in there for hands and wrenches, but you got a light an camera in there too.

Can't thank you enough for this video. It was invaluable in guiding me replacing the starter on my daughter's 2009 Honda Civic. Thanks for taking the time to put this together for us "do-it-your-selfers".

Very informative video but background music very distracting and annoyingly loud. Would be much better without the music.

Nicely done. As a former mechanic of approx 20 years, nothing here I couldn't have figured out, but the clarity of both your vid and narration will undoubtedly save me considerable time when I replace the starter in my daughter's '08 Civic in the morning. Thanks.

Getting ready to do mine. Have watched several vids on this and this is by far the best I've seen so far! Thanks!

I'd give multiple thumbs up but you know. By far the the best Honda starter video on youtube. Great job!

Used this video to replace a Honda Civic starter today, 10/10 would recommend using this video!

At first I hated the music you added to the video. That is, until I realized that the happy tune was the only thing preventing me from killing myself from the frustration of getting that top bolt off. Thank you! You helped me save a couple hundred dollars!

I want to thank you for making this video, you saved me $200 - $300 in labor. I am a novice, so it took me 5-6 hours :) You are the boss-boss. Oh yeah, good thinking wearing the gloves too. You are the man...

This is the best video I've seen on this subject. All other videos I've seen, they were removing the exhaust and axles to get to the starter

Great video. You made it look easy lol. It was really hard getting it positioned back in with the wires and all when I put the new one back in. Thanks though I would have had even more trouble without the video.

Thank you very much for making the video , very informative, good angle pictures, and guidant. There is no spaces for my hands or see what I did, but I got starter out after three hrs... thanks you again

Thank you for this excellent video! It's so well done and helpful.

Video made the walkthrough a breeze. Just did the starter switch out on the ground at night in my work parking lot 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks brother, you saved me a couple of hundred bucks. I will say to anyone thinking of doing this. You will struggle if not using the flex head ratchet to remove the top long bolt. I had to use many extensions and it’s a pain. If you have the money go out and buy one. Also I highly, highly recommend you use a thick pillow if using a creeper under the car otherwise your neck won’t be able to support your head the next day. And please please use multiple jack stands under the car and make sure you are on level ground. Be safe and have a good day.

Good video, had a hard time with the top bolt only because it was so tight on the car I just worked on. But I finally got it. Thanks!

Great Video Sir. Followed your instructions & repaired my car. Thank you so much. GOD BLESS

Wow! like this video. Informative, entertaining, easy R/R. You did great job. Took me about 45 mins for this job. Thank you. Like the music & volume was fine.

The starter in my Civic went out a few days ago while I wasn't home. Got a few friends to push my car and pop the clutch to drive it lol. Thought, its just a starter how hard can it be. Man I was wrong. This was such a pain in the ass. It took about two hours to replace a freakin starter. The one in my '85 Corvette comes out with three accessible bolts and the one in my dad's F350 comes out with 3 as well also easy to get access. Honda finds to worst possible places for things. This video really helped man!

Wow life is so funny did one in the 2010 civic today other than the motor being a lil bit hot.this wayyyyy was soooo easy am under the car just shakin my head sayin i did soo much of these the long way .....i mean i literally had the starter out in about 10mins......each day u learn sumthin new.thank u for such a great video and thats from a mechanic

Thank so much for sharing this very helpful video, I was able to replace the starter.

This was VERY VERY VERY helpful. Thanks so much!

Tackling this job today in the parking lot of a hotel . Thanks

THANKS FOR TEACHING HOW TO REPLACE THE STARTER YOU ARE AWESOME.GOOD VIDEO.

GREAT video man! Im replacing one at work and someone had been in there before and had the wires all jacked up, so I wasnt sure how they were suppose to wrap around the starter AND stay out of the way to get the top bolt back in. Your awesome camera angles allowed me to take pictures of how the wires are supposed to run. Thankyou for an awesome how-to.

I jus did one this weekend on my daughters car. It was a pain in the ass!!!! Wish I would have seen this video first lol

some tips that made it easier. there’s a small wiring harness electrical plug all the way in the back near the manifold un clip that and the whole harness will come out loose. do not remove the little black circle cap on top of the starter. only remove the black boot to unplug. it threw off the way the wiring harness lines up. it was easier to lineup the long bolt first then line up the smaller one.

My dear sir: Thank you very much for uploading this VERY helpful vid, blessings!

Great video sir. I hit the subscribe button!!! Thanks so much.

Incredibly well done video, superb lighting and focus. My son’s 2006 Honda Cic is now in shop for starting issues. I am awaiting to hear the diagnosis and cost.

It took me about 8 hours to do this job. Access was the issue - there is no space to work in. The bolts were difficult to break loose and problematic to get to. Removing the exhaust pipe is not necessary - the starter can be removed to the side. The higher the vehicle can be lifted, the better. That was an issue too, as my hydralic equipment is limited. Having done it once, the next time probably would be faster. Your video helped.

Super helpful bro! You're a life saver!

I watched this video for reference purposes. I liked the music. :)

Excellent video . thanks man..

great video and very informative and detailed. took me about 2.5hrs to do that whole removal and installed.

Thanks for the tips. I found that separating the cv axle from the hub but leaving it attached to the transaxel gave me plenty of room to move around.

Thanks for the video. Got the job done for me 10/10

Amazing video. Just did this job for a neighbor in under 2 hours. Not bad as most people make it seem.

Wowwww u made that look soooooo easy.i did so many of these but i always pulled the intake mani off.which is super easy but just alot more work alot of shyts to move.....

Very good video man. 👍🏻👍🏻

...and fwiw, this is one of the very few videos where I actually _didn't_ mind the music.

Many thanks Bro...... very detailed video.

Nicely done . Thanks!

Great video!

Can't make it any more simple or clear thank you.

Great video thanks for sharing

90 subbed, excellent job buddy thanks!

Great video! Thank you

Thank you so much for the video. it's been incredibly helpful. Im following step by step here and I have one question! How did you manage to get the starter out with the exhaust pipe still in? I've been trying different spots but I can't seem to get the right fit anywhere

nice video - well detailed

I just replaced the starter on a 2009 Honda Civic it was a bitch to remove and to replace. Your video helped me a lot 👍🏽 thank you!

Much appreciated brother!!

Just done my 06 and it was a strait up pain in the a$$ lol. Only thing extra I removed was the passenger wheel and that small bracket. Hardest part I had was getting that top bolt back in. Watching this video afterwards and you make it look easy. Mine was on a coupe if that makes any difference. I'd rather do 5 heater cores as another honda starter. Lol

Thanks for yr effort

None of the following need to be removed to replace the starter. the Manifold, exhaust, axles, and wheel can be left alone. It's much easier as a technician with a full car lift, but start by removing the metal bracket connected to the manifold. Two 10mm and on 12 mm bolt, then begin removing the two 8mm bolts off the bushing/motor cover (also retaining the harness) then you will have access to the two starter retaining bolts, and the power wire, with the communication connector. Its a pain in the ass but with the right tools and experience this is an hour job, book time calls for an hour and a half. I passed the starter past the axle and trans. Removing the cover may cause the Starter to fall apart on you, but that almost makes it easier to manipulate. If re-manufactured then put it back together and ship the core off as usual. As for installation, the power harness may be tricky to put in and line up, so firstly place the starter in place, retaining bolts, then apply the power harness and connector.

Thank you for this

YOU'RE THE BEST ...............GRACIASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Wow!!! Thank you so much!

Good video!!!

Thank you so much

U saved me sum change n headache with this upload, thank u much 👍👍👍

Did my first honda civic 2005 starter today took me 2 and a half hours but I say not bad for a rookie

Thank you so much for the video..! Please help me..! For a Honda Civic 2007 starter, do I need to remove the exhaust pipe to get the starter out?

Good job ..

Thank you!

Thank you !!!

great video! what camera did you use if you don't mind me asking sir? Thanks for the video I was able to help a senior friend.

I disagree with the music push back. Backyard Chevy just has a soft voice that is not always able to be heard clearly. You don't need the music or his voice to figure out what he is doing because the video quality is so damned good. Nice work. I did take the exhaust pipe off but I have a lift and torches. I also am working on a coupe which is tighter with respect to access but the video is top notch. On the coupe I went in from the wheel well on the top bolt.

How many hours should this take? Shop wants $730 to replace it

Very informative video. A suggestion if I may though... Make your voice a little louder and turn down the music. Also, the location of the starter was not depicted very clearly. I know where it is but it would be helpful to start recording as you go under the car and locate the starter. Other than that, thanks for uploading!!

very clear video. also what side is the starter located? Thanks!!

Thank you

Great video, about how long did it take? Thank you!

Much appreciated m8

From what angles are you reaching from? Underneath the axel or away from the axel?

i think the hardest part of this install is aligning the starter with the bolts on the new starter, major pain, i defientley got a friend to screw in the bolts as i aligned the starter.

Thanks

Where was your position on the car underneath on top under the hood?

Thank yuo sir

Just got mine changed today and a new battery installed. Any reason why this happens besides old part

Is this on a sedan or a coupe? My coupe doesn't seem to have NEARLY as much space underneath.

How much the starter ???

Good instruction, but the music makes it hard to hear you sometimes

How long did the whole process take?

OEM starters....there’s one made in the USA and one made in Japan. The one made in the USA has a pink sticker and the one with the purple sticker is made in Japan they are not interchangeable . they look identical but the mounting bolts are just slightly off. I struggle for one hour trying to get it to line up. make sure buy the EXACT SAME one

Where did u purchase your starter?

Im trying to do this right now and there is no way in hell to get 2 hands under there to work. how are you doing that? theres too many brackets and axles and everything.

I have a couple questions please!

Favor to ask Can you edit out the music?

wish they had more detail how to take that long bolt out. that was so hard

You obviously didn't remove the exhaust pipe, as called for in the manuals. How long did this job take you to do? That music drove me nuts.

did this a few months ago

Just change my starter . When I go to hookup my negative stater wire it sparks like crazy anyone know why?

Can’t get the long bolt back on it feels like it won’t turn

Grate help, just next time no music

I changed my starter, took it to a shop to make sure the bran new one i bought was working, put it in, nothing, no crank, battery is fine, NO CRANK IT WILL NOT CRANK, IVE DONE EVERYTING I COULD PLEASE HELP 2010 HONDA CIVIC

Kind of a distraction with the music. Thank's for the video though.

Idk how th you got the top bolt in.... I can't even see it fml.
