- Today I show you how to change the starter on your car. If I can do it - so can you! The car in the video is a 2012 Honda Accord but this should be the exact same process for 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 models and pretty much any other car with a starter.

This video turned out to be much more helpful than I thought it would at the start! 🤣Great descriptions! Great camera work! Minimal banter!
I'm glad it was helpful and thanks for letting us know!
Your video was great. Do more. It's like explaining mechanic work for the less mechanical inclined, made me another less nervous to doing it

Just changed my starter, worked perfectly. Thanks guys! I would note that the wire aspect of it is likely the most annoying part. I had to bend the wire a little bit to actually get it to fit on properly again. It took me an hour just to work that part out. Otherwise the change is not super difficult.
Make sure you guys fit the bottom bolt on first and then the top to make sure the starter is in place properly -- if the fitting is off, the wire bit won't get on properly.
Just finished the job and i can confirm that did, infact, have a bad day
Oh noooooo! I'm sorry to hear that. What happened?
@@PeaceLoveAndGuns the whole process of getting the starter out and putting the new one in was such a pain, its such a tight fit. But I got the job done!
@@J_3564Well, hey, that's great news! Congratulations on saving a good amount of money!
Great video guys, please make more about this vehicle.
Excellent description and video

Thank you for sharing, I need to do this soon.
You’re most welcome. Please let’s us know how it goes out if you have anything else to share that might help the community!
Other videos show taking the manifold off, I wonder if this way is better, great video guys, got a new subscriber here
Hey, Manuel, Thanks for the comment as it halos to keep me inspired! I’m not sure about removing the manifold as this way was pretty easy as is. Thanks again, and happy holidays!
4 cylinder vs V6. 4 banger has the starter under the intake manifold
@@abiscuit90 Definitely different beasts. Thanks for the comment and do please consider subscribing!
@@PeaceLoveAndGuns only cause you asked nicely!
Thanks guys. You guys have great personality and your video is very clear. I might have to replace my starter as well. Still troubleshooting to is if it's the battery, or relay/fuse/ignition switch. But i know it will be very useful instructions you gave in this video both in technical and safety aspects.
Scotty Kilmer just released a video recommending a $69 (nice) battery, starter, alternator tester.

@@PeaceLoveAndGuns just replaced it yesterday after troubleshooting and confirmed with O'Reilly's. They tested the old starter and it didn't even run. Just the same 1 click sound from the solenoid. New starter in thanks for your video and car started right up. Note for others: take off the bracket that hold the hose instead of just the U shape, and take off another metal bracket next to the EGR. That will free up a lot of room for your hands and the new starter to go in. I put electrical tape to secure the metal gasket to the new starter to keep that in place while wiggling it to position. He made it look easy in this video but it was actually frustrated cause the metal gasket just kept falling off.
@@CCG0D Glad to hear you're back up and running and sorry we made the gasket part look too easy! We probably just lucky on our install. I do like your tape idea, though! Thanks again for the comments and feedback! 🍻
bout to go do it
Good luck and godspeed! Thanks for the comment and do please consider subscribing!
Great video. That car needs a VCM disable device though.
Really appreciate the comment and do please consider subscribing!
The reason the negative cable I'd removed first is to prevent accidentally touching ground when removing the positive first.
What's the bolt torque spec on the starter?
Not too loose, not too light! Sorry! I know it's not super helpful. I don't think we even checked the torque spec since it's not a sealing interface.

I used a 12mm instead of the 13mm that you recommended for that top-nut, 13 didn't work, too loose. Also used 14mm instead of the 15mm you recommended for the 2 screws, same thing. Just wondering. Would have been nice for a link to PARTS.
I usually like a good tight fit 😅 but maybe I was wrong?🤷🏾♂️
@@PeaceLoveAndGuns Not intended to pick on you, just clarifying. Good job, man. Thank you. "God & Country (with guns)".
@@misterstealth9237 👌🏽 All good! I didn't feel picked on. I just don't like giving bad info - so thanks for the clarifications!
@@PeaceLoveAndGuns
Took me a while to clip back that black auxiliary plastic connector. That copperish naked cable was assembled to the inside instead of around it on the outer side, thus not letting the aux connector plug all the way in. Army guy (me) made it happen anyways. Starting like a 2021 now. 👍🏻
@@misterstealth9237 Heck yeah! Glad to hear the video helped!

Did you have any problems using the old shim or was the problem fixed?
It was all good!
@@PeaceLoveAndGuns cool, I’ll be replacing my starter soon, thanks for the guide!
Where u buy starter ??
At this point, I don't remember. Rock Auto dot com is always a good place. At the very least, you can look up make/model/year and find the part "interchange" number so you can find the local parts houses near you and what they have in different brands. I have decent experience with amazon as well for car parts. Good luck!
Replacing the starter may not fix the grinding. Honda released a TSB 16-002 where the torque converter needs to be rotated to allow proper alignment of the sprocket. The video is very helpful though, it is better that there was a camera-man while you were working.
Can it be rotated by spinning the crank?
@@MrSamPhoenix no. It is necessary to uninstall the starter and remove the bolts between the flex plate and the torque converter before rotating the torque converter itself.
That's for the 2013-2016 accords. Those are grinding so bad that the car fails to start at all. The 08-12 are starting fine, then grinding because the starter gear does not retract all the way. It's a different issue
lucky i live on a hill & have a `el manual...lol, not really
hey fyi~ either your ghosted(I`m ghost busting...LOL) in comments or you deleted comment? i can see it in notifications but i cant reply to it or find it anywhere ?
"Peace, Love and Guns commented: "Does the 1911 jam? lololololol 🤣 I crack myself up. Seriously though. I do like the AK47. I personally carry the Talwar by them, which is a BIG honkin folder that you can choke back on like the..."

You could get a Glock knife, it wont jam, its hi quality for 'cheap' & made in Austria!
The Talwar is badass, i think they will make it again soon! Where was original Talwar manufactured? I would love to see more USA made CS!
I been caring the CS Frenzy for a minute, one of the best larger knives for EDC, its slim & 'light'!
i want a CS Colossus & one of there new 'plastic'(FGX) balisong`s for fun & a possible shower knife! When your in the shower & the Psycho music starts to play, mother should be worried for her little boy! LOL
Hey man, yeah, that's weird. I don't even see it on my end when I check your video.
