    Thanks Brian. I followed your steps to change the starter in my 2004 Accord. I was able to remove the 17mm with a 3/8 drive and short socket without the extension. The first time I started it after the replacement, I heard a grinding noise. I took the reman starter out and O'Reilly tested it three times. It tested fine. I put the reman back in and was very careful about placement. It worked great. Parts cost me about $180 (reman starter and gasket). Firestone quoted $520 for the job. Thanks again for taking the time to make this video.

  • @williamkent2446
    @williamkent2446 Před 3 lety +20

    IMPORTANT NOTE FOR 2007 (and I think 2006):
    I just changed the starter on my 2007 Accord, and there's a few extra things you need to do.
    1) As noted in many of the comments, there is a black plastic box attached to the inside of the intake manifold/plenum. This box greatly reduced the working space that you'd otherwise have once you clam-shell the manifold open, and must be taken off. A lot of people in the comments have said the whole manifold must be taken off, and so this video doesn't work for these years. This is incorrect. I managed to take the black box off pretty easily, and then was able to proceed with the rest of the video. On my 2007, there are 5 bolts holding the black box to the intake manifold - 2 bolts at the top, and 3 at the bottom. The 2 top ones are easy to spot and remove (they also have a metal washer, fyi). The 3 bottom ones are all located behind the assembly, at the bottom left (down near the alternator). You can't really get your head back there to see them, but you can feel them with your hand. All 3 bottom bolts form a triangle, with less than 4-5 inches between each one. They are are also easy to remove with the use of a short extension bar to get the socket on them. If I remember correctly the bottom 3 bolts are 12mm, and the top 2 bolts are 10mm. After the bolts are removed, the plastic box just comes right off, and you can proceed with the rest of the video. NOTE: Given what I've read in the comment section, the 2006 may have 6 bolts? Not sure.
    2) I did not have those 2 vacuum hoses (the 2 that he disconnected). Not sure why. Just a heads up.
    3) Where the main power is connected to the starter, with the 12mm (I think) nut...that connection is shielded by a little plastic wall around the nut. So getting a box wrench in there is impossible. And as someone pointed out in the comments, getting a socket on there is also impossible because of a structural metal bar that runs right over the connection (you can see this bar in the video, but I didn't notice it until I looked for it). What I ended up doing was switched some of the steps up. A) I disconnected the other two electrical connections. B) I removed the long funky bolt on the far side of the starter. C) I greatly loosened the shorter bolt holding the starter in place (the one closest to you) but did not fully remove. D) I slid the starter out a bit and rotated it up and forward, pivoting it on the bolt that was still connected. E) The main power connection was now no longer under that structural metal bar, and I was able to get a socket on it and remove pretty easily. F) Fully removed the already loose bolt, and pulled the starter all the way out. G) To install the new starter, just reverse these steps (because my new starter also had a little plastic wall around the connection). Get that shorter bolt partially threaded on, attach the main power, and then rotate the starter back and fully seat it, and then fully tighten the two bolts and attach electrical connections.
    Hope this helps! Even with figuring this out, I was able to do the whole job in 2.5 hours. If I knew all this from the beginning, I could cut that time in half. Again, this is for the 2007. From everything I'm seeing in the comments, the 2006 appears to be similar. This video is STILL applicable, it just requires a few extra steps. Feel free to ask me to clarify something. (And maybe this comment could get pinned? It would help a lot of people out)

Thank you for this excellent video, this was the most helpful video I saw. I watched this video 5-10 times before attempting the job. All i had was a basic socket set (regular and deep sockets both) and most importantly a set of combination wrenches. For some of the bolts I needed to use a short socket, then a long one, and then a box end wrench to get it out fully, but I got the job done!

    Thank you so much. I replaced my starter today on a 2006 honda accord with an OEM one. Took me a good two hours as it was my first DIY. Seeing the horror of the 17 mm bolt being hard to come off, i sprayed pb blaster two days prior and let it soak. The bolt came off without any effort with a half in socket and 24 inch breaker bar. Also, i guess everyone removed the 14 mm bolt first, which causes further pressure on the 17 mm. Id suggest remove the 17 mm and then proceed with the 14 mm. New ignition switch + new starter + new battery, car starts like a brand new one.

    I had watched other videos that were a LOT more involved because they tore a lot things apart. I like the approach you took. Much simpler. Thanks VERY much for putting this together. I feel like I can tackle this now, but it means buying additional tools (but hey, I need an excuse to buy new toys, right? lol).
    I was curious about cost for a job like this, so I called a mechanic I use all the time. They quoted me around $600!! They said that includes a rebuilt Denso starter. They said new starters aren't even available any more and the Denso gives a longer warranty than buying from a dealer. However, when I called a local Honda dealer, they said they would install a new starter, but they charge $900!!!! LOL I could fly you here, pay you to do the job and still not spend $900 LOL. Even if I have to buy new tools, I'm sure I'll still save at least $300.
    Did you end up torqueing that bottom bolt of the exhaust manifold? I didn't see you do it in the video. Hopefully you went back and got it after the video lol

    So first off...this is a great video. I started today around 4pm and finished around 7:30pm. Everything went smoothly until I attempted to remove the last bolt from starter. I had to visit autozone to get a 1/2 extender bar recommended and a 1/2 ratchet. This was very very difficult to take off. Finally after 10 minutes the bolt finally loosened. Thankfully the bolt was not badly stripped. After this, everything was cake. There is not much room to work but I was able to complete the job. Thanks for the video as you did a great job!!

    Amazing you did the job that fast I wish it worked like that for me. I'd recommend anyone that isn't a pro or advanced take off throttle body and get the gasket for that as well just to get more space its really difficult with the gap in the video. I've had plenty of experience with DIY repairs and have done other cars starter motors with ease but I had a lot of issues with this one. Also I'm not sure if it's just the Aussie variant but for my accord euro there's 2 brands of starter that can be in the car stock (denso style or mitsuba) and the mitsuba one has 2 variants to complicate it further, I could only source the wrong one and had to break the solenoid plug housing on the starter to fit the stock connector onto it to avoid missing work for several days.
    Hopefully this saves someone the headaches I had today.

    Thanks for an informative repair video. Well done and a great narrative. The only thing I did different was take the OEM starter to an alternator repair shop. All it needed was a new brush assembly kit. $26.38 for parts and $40.00 for labor to install. With tax, $72.19 for a new remanufactured starter. My local parts store had the same starter as you installed for $229.00. Your video and my thrift kept a few dollars in my pocket. Thanks again for the help.

    • @dennisgruba4792
      @dennisgruba4792 Před 3 lety +1

      There is a known problem with aftermarket non_OEM starters. They get weak in a few months then will not spin the engine at the correct crank speed, car will start but a lot of codes will start getting set. All related to computer sensing slow crank and thinking it is a poor idle etc. Just a heads up.

      @@mronemanband1 Thanks for the thought and input. My job pays very well, they also allow me to pick the days and what hours I work. The down side to this job is I commute about 500 miles a week going to work. We do have newer vehicles that have been problem free, just basic maintenance and service. Wife drives a Subaru and I have a 1 ton Chevy pickup. Use it on the farm and to pull our camper. The Honda gets over twice the fuel mileage with cheaper fuel than the truck does. Tires and service / maintenance cost me about 1/3 of what the truck cost. When I drive 25,000 miles a year just to my job, it doesn’t bother me one bit to drive an economic, 15 year old car. I plan on driving it until something major fails. My last Honda turned over 300,000 miles when we parked it. I have other hobbies I’d rather put my money into than drive new vehicles to work.

    I just replaced the starter on a 2006 2.4L i4 Accord coupe with my son. Some differences shows up. There’s a resonator attached to the plenum that caused me to remove some hoses so I could pull the plenum far enough out of the way to access the work area. Other than that, it worked exactly the same and we had it changed out in well under two hours. Thanks for the guidance!

    • @Bluespark69
      @Bluespark69 Před 4 lety +1

      UPDATE: I was not able to use this approach on my 2006 CRV. There was simply not enough space between the manifold and the rad. I had to completely remove the manifold, wires, hoses etc. I did not remove the throttle body or air box. In fact to provide more room to get the manifold out, I had to remove the 2x bolt studs on the top of the block otherwise I could not get the manifold out. Once manifold was removed, the starter was the easy part and came out and replaced great. re-assembly was good and all worked. 1st time for novice.
