Installed Starter! Wasn't too bad...

[ryanschillinger]

I removed the splash shield and battery as well as the intake tube and the coolant reservoir for easy access to the bolts. Didn't need to remove the intake manifold. The hardest bolt to do was the one up top, but the right combination of extensions made the right length to make it easier. When I was putting the new starter in, I threaded the bottom bolt almost all the way in, but left it loose to get the top bolt started. Then I tightened them both down.
I've never done a starter before, but it only took about an 1.5 hours total. Glad I saved the money over having a shop do it. The starter was about $150 from Autozone with lifetime warranty. At least I know how to do it for next time.

thanks for sharing!

always more rewarding knowing you did it yourself and saved bookuu bucks instead of dishing it out for someone else to do the easy work
