    I did this today and its a whole lot easier taking the fan shroud out. it gives you lot of space to remove the starter out. no struggling whatso ever. and use a cardboard to cover & protect the radiator assembly. took about an hour and half with the right tools.

    Thanks for the video. I am a seasoned "shadetree" mechanic(with some actual professional experience) and this video helped save a bunch of time. I did however find it easier to remove the starter by fishing it through the top(through the area where the air box was mounted) rather than through the bottom. Even with the bolt completely removed for the oil lines bracket, I was still not able to fit it pulling through the bottom. Thanks again.

      +Paul Grindley You were in the same boat as me. I wish I had thought of taking it out through the top but I just ended up removing one of the lines to get it out.

      Can you get it from top without remove the intake manifold?

      @@Ginlon-f1sYes you can. At least I was able to. Can’t quite remember how I did it as it was quite a while back. Still have the car and haven’t had any issues with it since.

    Thank you for the video. You also saved me almost $600. I did have problems putting the repaired starter back in because I stripped a bolt and spent hours trying to screw that in before I gave up to fix the stripped bolt. I did have the black bolt left over... maybe I used the wrong bolt? I removed three bolts and replaced two; I don't know where the other one went so I didn't replace it. Anyways, I fixed the starter thanks to you and my car is running great. Now to fix that loud metallic creaking noise I'm hearing from my driver's side rear wheel... perhaps it's a spring or shock absorber...?

    Great videos! Definitely made changing the starter on my 12 Sonata. Part was $250 from dealer and hour and 50 minutes from start to finish to change it out. Toughest part was getting the new starter in place, everything else was a breeze. Thanks again!

    This video was a huge help. I have an identical vehicle except it is from california so there are a few minor differences. I had to actually remove one of the lines (which was antifreeze and not oil) to get the starter out.
    I certainly would not have been able to do it without this videos insight.

    Thanks for this video. I was able to replace it with success. Went through the top, removed the radiator fan for access along with the ETC (Electronic throttle control) module and a bunch of hoses. Putting it back in was tough. Had to pull it out and then back in a couple of times to align it right.

    • @TheOriginalMechanic
      @TheOriginalMechanic  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @jasonsil
    @jasonsil 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    This video was huge help and thanks, I would add that the actual removal of starter can be made slightly easier when you fully remove the one screw shown @6:44 and fully remove the 2 screws shown @7:41. That was the only screws I had to remove to give enough clearance to get starter out. Everything else was exactly as described in this tutorial.
    Again Thank you very much to creator as I used this many times coming back throughout the entire process.

    Would you not save time by taking the intake off? Just curious. Im about to do one tomorow. And I Hage big hands. All that tight space looks hard to work in. I thought it would be faster to just take off the intake and have access to it from the top 🤔

    • @TheOriginalMechanic
      @TheOriginalMechanic  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah take the intake off. Other viewers have done it successfully that way. Good luck with it!

  • @waynejohnson9119

    I just did my 2011 Sonata GLS. I did it from the top. Disconnect battery, take off air intake, remove throttle body manifold, put a rag into the intake, then put stoppers in the antifreeze lines, and remove bolt that holds electrical lines in place below the throttle body so you can wiggle the starter out. Easy access to the 2 identical bolts for starer motor. The wires are long enough to access them after the starter is out. Took about 2 hours to remove and then replace the cheap starter lever (OEM# 3612G100 FFF) that broke at 78K miles. No reason a new starter for me. Bench tested before reinstall. One small problem is the quick release electrical connection for the solenoid was broken. I just pulled the wire out. On reinstalling it was quite tight on the female to male connector so I left it on. Maybe an after thought a bit of hight heat silicone would give a bit more security. Otherwise this is not a hard job even with big hands. A lot of failures are seen on this starter lever for models 2010-2014. A very bad design.

    • @waynejohnson9119
      @waynejohnson9119 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Note: if you are replacing the $8.00 lever arm there are a number of youtube videos on how to do it. Not hard at all. Just take your time.

  • @perichino1
    @perichino1 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I had this same issue. I did not have to loosen the bolts/brackets as the starter came out rather easily. The one thing I did have to do was to install the started without the electrical connections attached. It was much easier to install the connections after the starter was in place.

  • @mQQney
    @mQQney 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    ACES on the video and instruction. I did this on my daughter's car over the weekend. Took less than 2hrs to complete with most of the time at the start. I didnt have to loosen the oil lines you did. Just the bracket with the 4 bolts behind the lines. It came out very easily. Saved me $600+. Thanks

  • @bwdz75
    @bwdz75 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hmm, you make this very complicated, only thing I disconnect at the top is the negative battery cable. This is a 25 minute job done all from underneath, just take off the 4 bolts and slide that lower intake bracket out and it gives you plenty of room. I use my Harbor freight 90' El shaped ratchet for the top starter bolt as that allows me to get that from underneath as well without issues.

  • @johnbaum5666
    @johnbaum5666 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video, thanks. Very helpful indeed. I pulled the battery & oil filter as well for some extra hand room. The biggest issue is that there are 3 different starters for the '09, it can have 8, 11, or 12 teeth, make sure you get the right one.

    Ok first off stop touching stuff. Book time is 1hr out and in. Literally you take intake duct and battery/tray out.
    Unbolt starter
    Push it to the passenger side
    Flip it over so its in there backwards (plenty of room)
    Unclip signal wire, unbolt power
    Twist and remove out of driver side.
    Nothing but the battery, tray, and air filter have to come out.

      @allenmgb 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Tony is right.Dis mount throttle body use bungee cord to pull out of way so not have to remove coolant hoses,remove intake air temp sensor, you may have to loosen intake manifold bracket right behind starter.Then pull starter out far enough to remove wires.Book time only pays 1.4 hour.

      I agree, I cut the wire tire on the wire loam right in front of the fan, i unbolted the wires to the left of the battery and slipped the started out the top. My 2011 has a huge motor mount on the front bottom side of the motor which is NOT pictured in this video, with the motor mount it made the bottom look even more difficult.
