@@FordBossMe I have a Honda Element with the same engine. Three years ago I had my starter go out while visiting my son in Madison, WI. The local Honda dealer had a starter so I left the car with them. When I went to pick it up the bill was a total of $853.49. If it happens again I will push start it to Chicago to come see you.
Glad to see that you are still taking a hands on approach and doing repairs. A good technician like you has no trouble working on different makes of vehicles. I am enjoying the different content in addition to just Ford repairs.
It’s really cool seeing you walking like a Boss doing things in your new job. You walked like a Boss at the dealership, but now you are part of management. Really good stuff. Stay Blessed!
This video was brilliant! Thank you! I don't think I would have had the guts to fix it myself without this video, it's the most detailed one on TH-cam for doing this procedure without removing the exhaust. (I too have an AWD.) One thing I found is that I absolutely needed to use 1/2 inch extensions to break the two main bolts. I started off trying 3/8 extensions but they just couldn't apply enough torque to break the bolts. I was pushing really hard on my breaker bar and was convinced that the extensions were going to crack. I had either two or three chained together, I can't remember. Once I switched to 1/2 inch extensions the connection from the breaker bar was much more solid and I was able to break the bolts immediately. I was about to head out to Harbor Freight to buy an impact wrench but ended up not needing it.
I had to do this on my 2007 Honda Civic. This one appears to be a bit easier, but at least you had the decency to tell me it would be a pain in the butt for the home gamer. Thanks!
Honda looks pretty clean for being that old and a Illinois car. On a side note I’m done with my snap on battery ratchets another one just crapped out, always grab my Milwaukee most of the time.
My wife's crv jas the 2.4 and everyone says you have to take off the intake to get the starter off. Nope not me I got it from the bottom and it was easy. Right on Rich you just have to look at it and think it through. 👍
I tried and tried from underneath no dice i spend the 15 min to pull the intake its just easier for me I’ve done at least 20 and i cant get any make and model from the bottom
@Jason Leatherwood I did my wife's 04 from the bottom and it was easy. Reach up top with a extention and go across to the top bolt and then take off the bottom bolt and drop it down to take off the wires. That's how I did it with no problems.
My mom has a 2.4 2015 honda Accord. Starter failed, probably a year or two ago. It would randomly not start and start perfectly fine other times just like this one. The dealership mentioned something about there being a TSB on them. Common issue
About 4ys ago I was having a sticky bendix on the Subie, got a Napa rebuilt Denso unit, it's been great ever since. Think it was 200 bucks , did it myself, it's uptop, drivers side, had to do it mostly by feel, what's interesting was the top had a stud nut combo, the bottom was a bolt...
Subaru is a 15 min starter change easiest cars ever to work on not even a comparison to other makes my wife snd mom both have subarus 2006 outback for mom 2015 forester for wife of course the outback had head gasket issues but i fixed it too
Great video Rich, shows techniques and grit. Love having you acclimate into your new position. Keep safe baby, that’s Chicago after all! BTW it cost $425.00 , close?
Generally speaking when you’re dealing with Asian imports you’re gonna be using 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 17mm, and 19mm. This applies to Hondas/Acuras, Toyota/Lexus, Nissan/Infiniti and Hyundais/Kias. Happy wrenching y’all!
I'll not say the exact price I charged my friend for replacing his starter on a 04 Honda Civic LX but it was a great deal for him vs the Honda dealership or a shop down the road
Just a heads up the accords of this era have a TSB out on starter issues, can’t remember if it’s strictly the 3.5 or if the 2.4 is included, but they want you to unbolt the flex plate from the torque converter and spin it one bolt hole, just something to keep in your memory bank 👍🏻
I have a alternator in a 2011 CRV, started stripping the top bolt on it and took it into the shop, they got it out but destroyed the bolt in the process. I don't know what it is on Honda's; sometimes the bolts just seem to be screwed down EXTRA hard.
Unless that starter has been changed they come with a 8 mm nut which is 12 mm hex but the re builders replace them with 8 mm with 13 mm hex generic nut I reuse the originals as they are better quality fasteners , just clean up and reuse them along with some lube on the long bolt threads as some times they corrode in the transmission
Yeah it was 14 MM starter bolts 10 mm battery clamps and a 13 mm positive post on the starter solenoid and nothing was 8 mm unless you're talking about the bracket that goes to the intake manifold that you don't do not have to remove
@@FordBossMe I’m still waiting for the part it’s been on back order for a while now , and that’s not bad you also will have to reprogram the pcm with the new serial or the new lead frame correct ?
Not a very hard starter to do, even without a lift? Some of the Nissan little pickup trucks have the starter under the damn intake manifold, now that is a bitch? The other hard one's are the Jeep Liberty and Cherokee 4wd vehicles, a complete nightmare? Good job, as usual, sir.
I would like to know what you charged to replace that starter. Total price for labor and starter.
It's a Bosch starter so it's expensive - around 500.00

@@johnnypipe Starter from a Honda dealer alone will cost $600 so depending on the labor rate of that dealer it sounds about right.

Boy! Talk about timely. I just finished the same operation on my daughter's CRV about an hour ago.
I never knew starters are that hard to get too. Then again I don’t know much about working on vehicles & what I do know is from watching you.
The Northstar engine in Cadillac had the starter in the engine valley, right under the intake manifold.
Wish someone could teach you hands on you probably would be really good at it once you get it down
@@coreybabcock2023 I probably would be ok at it, just not as good as Rich

This will help us replace our starter. Thanks for showing us how and thanks for the reminder in life to stay positive...
These Honda 2.4L are excellent engines. Accord/CRV/Element.
nice now we get more variety, since it's not just ford!
Right, Rich used to get lots of comments saying Ford is this and the other. Now, we will see all brands.
I had to do this on my 2007 Honda Civic. This one appears to be a bit easier, but at least you had the decency to tell me it would be a pain in the butt for the home gamer. Thanks!
Removing the intake box thing isn't a big thing 4 10 mm bolts and disconnect the battery and move the intake snorkel tubing too
Thank you Rich
Well then, just the content I was waiting for.... relatives starter went out as well...

The older ones you do, I did my dad's and mom's 2009 both under the front intake

Exactly why I bought a 12 v ratchet ! Makes the job faster
When I did the starter on my civic si 2.4 I removed the intake manifold wasn’t too bad.
Yep I did The same on an older Accord behind the intake
awesome work

Yeah it.was 14mm not 15mm for the bolts
Honda V6 starters look easy to replace. Remove air cleaner, hook up memory saver, remove battery, remove battery box and it's right on top.

Why? What's the reason?
It’s for the 3.5 V6. My 13 accord was affected by this.
My starter keeps braking the nipple part that goes in were the fly wheel is
Hoohoohooo. Theae are fun first time.
Manual says remove axle. No need to however. Propper assortment of tools its not bad at all.

Hi Rich how much will you charge to replace lead frame on a 6r80 transmission ?
