In this video I show the steps and procedures necessary to replace the starter on a Nissan titan. Years 2004 through 2015. If you have a Nissan Armada or Infiniti QX56 quip did with the 5.6 L V8 engine these procedures will be the same. This starter replacement is a little more difficult than your average vehicle, unfortunately the intake manifold is required to be removed in order to gain access to the starter. This video shows the steps in tips to get the job done easily. Below are a list of tools and parts that you will need when replacing the starter. I hope this video helps you out if it has please like and subscribe. If you have any questions or comments feel free to leave something in the comment section. Thank you for watching

This is a great tutorial for the DIYer. I did it on my 2010 Armada. Just one tip: It is unnecessary to remove the fuel line and the booster line. Both have enough slack, and you can carefully lay the intake sideways to the right. Save yourself time and money.

I used a swivel socket extension on a 24" flexible head breaker bar to loosen the bolts on the starter. Didn't think the double swivel contraption would give me enough torque, since it was essentially making a U shape, but it did!

Thank you Aaron for an Awesome Video! I have a 2005 Infiniti Qx56 with the same motor. Your video was a life saver and a time saver! Thx for all the nut size references. If I may add a couple of tips.....When putting in the intake manifold bolts, I used a Flexible 36in Claw tool Grabber and placed the 4 hooks over the bolts so I wouldn't lose them and it worked great! Also, you were right about using a 1/2 ratchet but use the long, flexible head style. You will now be able to take the stupid bolts out with ease! Lastly, WD40 did nothing but I switched to Liquid Wrench and OMG, it worked within 15 min! I did change the gaskets also. Once the starter was installed, it was easy, peasy to put it back together. Best yet? It saved me $800 bucks by doing it myself and it starts right up! Thx again!

I'll be sure to look out for your videos when doing repairs. One pain we ran into was that the fuel line took a long time for us to disconnect it with a brand new tool. Hopefully after the tool gets some more use, the plastic will get shaved down a little to give more room for the tool to fit and disconnect the fuel line.

Great video. Thank you. It's wise to confirm there are no electrical issues prior to performing this job. Doing this job and still having an issue would be frustrating. Put 12v directly to the signal wire and run another ground wire from battery to block just to be sure. The ignition switch is another part that may be burned up. If it is...there is likely an underlying issue causing it and a likely source is the contacts on the starter. I suggest using something like acetone on the head before putting on the manifold with new gaskets. Glad to see the recommended torque specs.

Just finished the job! You’re amazing for this video man saved me some serious change by doing it myself!! 💰💰💰 It took me 5 hours start to finish because it was hard to break the starter bolts. Anyone can do it guranteed just have a heavy hammer to break those 2 starter bolts or a swivel wrench like his. Also, I did not disconnect the fuel line like I saw someone else say in the comments, it does have enough slack 👍👍👍 Amazing video 10/10 5 star thumbs up for sure
