Please note that this article is only a basic outline of what is involved and needed on order to remove a starter motor. We will be providing ‘car-specific’ starter motor removal guides as soon as possible (see bottom of page), and if do know of any useful ones then please share them with our other readers by using the comments section at the bottom of this post – Thanks !!
These can be undone with ‘Torx’ tools like this ; This is a typical Torx set that will fit onto the end of a ratchet like this ;
or the bolts could be ‘Allen’ bolts like this ;
These can be undone with ‘allen keys’ or ‘allen sockets’ like ;
The allen socket is an attachment for your ratchet.
Finally Once you have removed the bolts and the starter if loose, all that is needed is to undo the wiring from the terminals at the back of the starter. Make sure you remember where is wire goes. Fitting of the replacement starter will be a direct reversal of what you did to get the old one.
NOTES ALWAYS – disconnect the battery terminals before starting any engine work . If you have to work under the car, do it safely and tell someone what you are doing. If an accident does happen and you are unable to move for a period of time, at least people will know where to look to find you.
Make safety your first priority, read our article on .
