My dad raised me fixing our own cars and electronics. He owns so many tools lol But it's situations like putting that starter back in that make me say it's worth paying someone with the proper work area top fix stuff. Though there is satisfaction in doing a job like this.... 😛

Had an old Toyota 4x4 had to use an 18" extension swivel socket 4" extension another swivel socket & had to tape the bolt onto the end of the socket just to get it back into place, what a pain in the a$$ some of these starters can be, I feel your pain brother. Thanks for taking the time to show us. God Bless.

Love the true Rodalco battery setup

Great tear-down and rebuild.

Tongue at the right angle, very important! :)

13 years not to bad.

Good repair job! Should last a while hopefully. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

1.2 I4 petrol. 18 years and 73k and my Valeo D6RA started sounding like a bunch of thin metal rods dropping on the floor all at once. All of a sudden one cold morning (didn't disassemble that one, but i suppose the magnet could no longer hold the pinion in place steadily). Immediately fitted a recon one, same tooth count, and aside from that rods noise totally vanishing away, i immediately noticed it's turning the engine so much faster than the old one. Like lightspeed. I'd say definitely go recon from a trusted company if the OEM no longer makes it/car make is now listing a starter from a different brand with a different tooth count. Should be a maintenance item.

Great job

Love those old nissan diesel engines. I noticed your oil sump gasket may be leaking and your exhaust pipe has a small rattle. But a excellent video otherwise, keep up the good work.

Couldn't they make it any harder to service a starter than this?? I can hear your frustration with it. But, nice job in the end! Too bad it's almost 2020 and we are still using brush motors everywhere.

Does the way you hold your tongue out help with completing the job successfully? Good vid, thanks.😊

Hello Mr.Rodalco. happy holidays! I am a fan of vintage machinery and electronics I like watching your videos. I came across your phase converter video from 2010, and I am in the process of making a rotary phase converter for my lathe it has a 3kw motor. I am searching for a 7.5kw-10kw motor for the rotary converter, but I am confused most of the big motor nameplates say delta and star 400/660, or only delta 380v or higher, should I look hard for a motor rated delta star 220/380v? I have all of the contactors and capacitors on hand I only have to sourse the big mother motor, but a don't want to buy the wrong motor. Thanks

Just did this job on my old Plymouth. Had an easier time that you did getting it out and back in. Seems like starters and water pumps are often difficult.

Hello sir, got a question, I've had the brushes replaced on my starter off of my 2005 jeep liberty, last time was in may and did it again just a couple of days ago and I notice it's going bad again, what causes these brushes to wear off and do you recommend me just getting a whole new starter rather than just replacing the brushes again, like I said I just replaced them a couple a days ago so I don't know what's causing this malfunction!! Thank you in advance, watching from Reynosa Tamaulipas Mexico

My starter motor is sparking and won't turn the car over. I'm changing it today.

Sir that’s what I do for a living

Lol back to old Rodal. Was that wife’s car?

Was a Cranky starter

Quick look on amazon and starters are cheap if you know what to get.. count the teeth on the bendix gear and check mounting points but looks like you could just get any ole starter thats around same size and gut the new one and swap for around 30$.. 60 on the high side of em.. just a thought.. your like me though, refuses to buy new shit when you know you can get it going yourself.. even though you got a hundred other projects planned and in progress... ha! Happy holidays to ya though..
