    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 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

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.

    Excellent explanation. This is a professional at work. I have done the power steering, brakes and now have to do the starter motor in my 2007 CL 9 it seems it is on its way out. This method is so quick I would have got bogged down trying to access the motor from under the car. Thank you very much for the video.

    Hey man, thanks for this video and the way you simplified everything save me a lot of time! It took me about two hours cause I didn't have that long extension. But long story short, I got the old one out. Bought a new one and she cranks even faster now! I was so surprised by how quickly she started. Thanks!

    Thank you so much, what an excellent video and help fixing the problem
    Your expertise was spot on from down to what size sockets and the order to take it apart and put back together. I saw a video before yours and he had me damn near taking the top of the motor apart. Thank God I found yours. I'm a 73 year old man and you made this all work for me. Can't thank you enough

    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.

    Thank you for showing that this can be done without completely disassembling the intake system. I was about to have the dealer install a new starter for me, but now this looks way more time-friendly to do myself

    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!!
