Starter

This week I changed a starter for the first time. I expected it to be hard. Really wasn't. Just nuts and bolts. But I found it challenging to unscrew the hiden bolt. I couldn't see it and it was in a tight spot. But I leanred to use extensions and laying the new starter down to get an idea of where the bolt is. Here is a picture 

The starter is hard to see you can tell it's a little tough trying to squeeze tools down there. 


Before I started I disconnected the battery's. You can disconnect either the ground or power line. I disconnected the ground. In the far back you can see the starter as well. 

I leanred to use a jack to lift and lower the starter because it is heavy. I also learned how to find the hidden bolt by placing the replacement part and getting an idea of where the bolt may be.

    On those blind bolts: I always take the hardest one out first.
