I found a hack. You don't have to remove the wires while the starter is mounted. Just remove the 2 mounting bolts, side the starter out, and disconnect the wires when hanging down. There is enough slack to allow this.
That's amazing, you're soooo dope! & the only woman I've met in this life time that even got their hands dirty! Its plenty people that dosen't even know how to change a tire or jump a dead battery to say the least! I've learned a lot from TH-cam, I just pulled my 1st motor not long ago & now I do my own work instead of going to these expensive ass shops
Hey all you wrenchers out there, I found out if you remove the oil filter on the 3.5 engine, you'll have plenty more room to get the positive wire connection off. This video saved me a labor fee. Did it myself! I am 70 years old, had a heart transplant 14 months ago. If I can do it, many other mechanically minded skilled patient guys can do it too. Swearing badly is acceptable.
I'm not much of a mechanic, but I enjoy working on vehicles, especially when it goes right. Thank you very much for this video. I was able to change my starter with a minimum of self inflicted problems. Thanks again.
Perfect video! My husband & I couldn’t afford to have ours replaced in the shop. Took about 4 hrs & started right up. Your video & instructions are very clear. Thanks a bunch!!!!
Dude, this video was a LIFESAVER! I have an '06 Monte Carlo, and the procedure is identical to this. Took me a day and a half and trips out for more tools, but I got it replaced and she starts super fast! A+ tutorial!
Ok you say $800 just to replace the starter , then how much to replace the engine mounts of an impala , they're like 6 mounts , like around how much do you think they will charge you ?
I just want to say this is the best video on how to replace the starter...it helped me out very much....i was able to take out and put in my own starter!! Thank you very much!!
Thank you so much for your excellent videos. My car wouldn’t start last night so I investigated the problem, checked and ruled everything else out and just finished replacing my starter. I had never done that before. Success!!Your videos on diagnostics and replacement are the most concise yet comprehensive I have ever seen. Thanks again I’m coming back for more the next time! Great job!!
Hey dude!! The very first repair I EVER DID. U helped me learn to do this all on my own. Thank you so much. Diagnosed by your video as well!! I went out and bought all of the stuff myself. My first socket set! Had to mbira a 13 & 15 mm separate. Would not have even knew where to start without your guidance.
Everyone is right, this is the best tutorial on the web...I used this plus some of the other ideas offered here as well..I 1) only loosened a few splash guard clips and tied it back with a bungee cord, 2) removed the oil filter and caught any oil that dripped out, 3) disconnected the two starter wires from the oil filter area and dropped the starter from that area too and did not have to squeeze the starter out from under the radiator hose...there was plenty room...4) I reconnected the wires before reinstalling the mounting bolts...it did not hang down by the wires...the starter was supported by placing it on the frame area., it did not fall down...those are the only techniques I did different but could not have done it without your video and comments from others...thanks yooz!!
Thank you for writing all of the tips out, I replaced a starter on my 99 suburban 2x but this one on my 06 impala looks way harder, I haven't seen all the other tips yet, so your comment just helped me A LOT!! I will be doing mine tomorrow morning.
EXCELLENT VIDEO. You really know how to do a tutorial. Very detailed including your video footage. I also like that you included what tools and sizes to use, plus the cat! You would make a really great instructor/teacher if not one already... thanks a lot!
Terrific video, thanks for making it! And I love the sponsorship by the cat. This video made replacing my starter a really easy job. I was even able to squeeze the starter out of the bottom of the car and back in again instead of through the side area where the hose is.
@@RL_Repairs310 that would happen if the starter crank wire(smaller wire on the starter solenoid) is touching the main starter battery wire...so youll want to make sure those wires arent touching or too close to each other...or can also be if the ignition cylinder is sticking in the crank position or got bumped forward to crank
I really appreciate this video sir. Very simple to follow and although my area to work in was considerably tighter with the oil filter so close to the starter on my 2006 impala. I got the job done.
This will be my 3rd time swapping my mom's 3.5 buick starter (oil leak killing them) and i needed to know what size sockets since I'll be doing it at the gas station parking lot. Thanks for being so detailed 👌
What a tremendous job on this video. I may be having to replace my starter on my 2008 Chevy Impala and this video is a life saver. I feel extremely confident I can do it now that I've seen you wonderfully done video. Thank you so much for taking the time to create this video.
I have to replace my battery cables and wanted to see how hard it was to get to the starter connection. This video was by far probably the best tutorial I have watched (and I have watched a lot). Some things that I love (don't worry, you did it, this is just so you can keep this in mind on future videos) 1) Camera was steady and in focus the whole time 2) Sockets needed and the size 3) again, the camera was completely focused so I was able to see which way to turn the screws (I know, righty tighty, lefty loosey, but when I go under the car it gets confusing) 4) The tab - you made sure to show how to take it off, after you already took it off, since it was impossible to see, that was awesome) basically, all the little details make it easy to follow. You have a new subscriber and you are at the top of my list when searching for tutorials. Thank you!
Thank you so much...really makes all the effort to get the angles and views all worth it...i really appreciate this comment so much...thank you and thank you for the support🙂
Excellent video, the kitty message was very useful and I took it to heart. Seriously though I really enjoyed you getting right to the job and not playing an annoying intro.
Amazing video, I had no trouble removing and replacing the starter with your guidance. For my 3.5L engine, I did have to remove the lower panel like you did, rather than just loosen it. I couldn't work around it and get to that 10mm bolt to remove the little plastic cover.
Thanks for taking the time to create and share this video. I agree that this is by far the best tutorial on TH-cam for this job. Simple, concise, and to the point. Great job. It helped me tremendously.
Awesome video. Getting ready to change the starter now on my 2010 Chevy Impala. Trying to keep the ole gal running before I go off and buy a Tesla. Great work sir!
Great tutorial, got the job done! Agree with the comments regarding the oil filter removal, made it a much easier job to drop it down and swap out the electrical connector and battery terminals, then replace them and remount
Thank you for the detailed and informative video! I was successfully able to replace my starter with your instruction and it started back up beautifuly.
Dude thank you so much, you are a lifesaver, you saved me sooo much money and sooo much time, i wanna tell you i love you and your welcome to come over for Thanksgiving with the family but that would be weird, lol but thank you so much
Mr. Miller beat me to it. After wrestling with trying to get it out, I decided I’d watch the video again and see what I was doing wrong. Taking the ground effect off also makes getting the small screw ( for the plastic bracket) off and on. It’s a great video except for this point.
I did this job on my own impala a few years ago. If you are not a mechanic, you really need to follow every single step on this video. Also, you better off wear a safety glass. It is preventing dirt drop into your eyes.
Thank you so much for the detailed step by step breakdown. I've had watched a few videos most Rambling with the job partially done missing steps thank you again
Your cat appears to be about as helpful as mine, which is not at all. Mine does the same thing, just watches and yells at me rather than help. 😂 Good video, I've got one of these coming into my shop next week so I wanted to know what I was getting into. I may refer back to this then.
When I did this job I found the starter can be dropped straight down without having to pull it under the radiator hose.. You make good videos and I come here to get a heads up. Your drum brake video helped me big time thanks.👍🏿
@@backyardchevy328 I understand.. I did it this way on 2007 3.5 Impala. I actually found out on accident, I was just trying to lower the starter and reposition it to get a better grip when I saw it could come out this way.✌🏿
@@backyardchevy328 I promise you it can come out from the bottom, it's been a while since I did the job but that's how I got it out and the new one back in... Those Corolla drum brakes, not so easy!😵 Half a day and busted a wheel cylinder later I finally got em installed.
Great step by step, I would add it is a lot easier taking the oil filter out and using that hole then trying to go out the front. Yes you'll lose a little oil but have so much less frustration in the long run and save previous time also.. Cheers
Great detailed video. The part i didn't wanna do was remove the whole splash guard so hopefully just by removing the three bolts i can get to the starter easily.
I loosened that splash guard and pulled it up and out of the way with a bungee cord in one of the clip holes and pulled it up and hooked it onto the engine area...
Thank you so much🙂 comments like these make the effort and extra time i put into videos to help others worth it🙂 and im sure u can accomplish anything u set ur mind to
amazing video!! hardest parts were tightening the 13mm nut on the neg/positive terminal, so many wires in the way and i didn't have socket for mini wrench, finally got it -- also removing the starter below the coolant hose did scrape the hose a bit OVERALL not too bad job
Thank you🙂 yea i found those same parts to be the most troubling as well..a few people did say if u removed the oil filter that it can be removed that way too but i haven't tried it personally
Its a great video. Just wondering how you have so much space under yours. That bolt you used an extender to get to, is directly under the frame for me.
I have a 2006 Chevy Impala LTZ and I'm thinking that it's the starter that's going out however we might try to change the starter and checking to see if that's the problem in this video right here is very helpful we haven't tried it yet but I have took notes so if it comes down to that we have this tutorial right here thank you very much for the help even though I haven't tried it yet but is still very beneficial just in case never know
Great video help me out a lot and save me time one thing tho to pull your starter out it’s easier after you remove your oil filter it comes right out after that
I dropped my oil filter and backed the starter out then dropped it instead of pulling it through the front bumper area. Sooo much easier and doesn't damage the radiator hoses. Very little oil was in the filter when I dropped it.
I do have a question...and it's been in the back of my mind for the last 25 years. It is the reason I NEVER replaced a starter. Do you need to shim/check to gap between the starter gears and the flywheel? This was something that was required on a mid 80's Pontiac. Or are the newer starters not requiring to gap them properly anymore. Your help would be greatly appreciated as I am finding myself possibly helping a family member replace a starter today.
No, that is not a requirement anymore..older engines from 60s to 80s would use similar cast for engines and could also use the same starter but they werent exact and precise so to get them to work ud have to shim em to compensate for the subtle differences..now they got rid of that and certain starters will only fit certain years etc.
I found a hack. You don't have to remove the wires while the starter is mounted. Just remove the 2 mounting bolts, side the starter out, and disconnect the wires when hanging down. There is enough slack to allow this.
I watch a million videos on Chevy IMPALA THIS ONE IS BY FAR THE MOST DETAILED VIDEO IVE SEEN ON TH-cam TODAY‼️thank you!!!!!!
Thank you🙂 really appreciate it🙂
I really like this video it really truly is the best video I earn alot removing the bracket help tighten the long screw thanks again.
I agree!!! But wait, NeNe you work on cars too? 💪🏾😍😏

Thanks for taking the time to be so detailed in your video. It served as a good reference while changing out the starter.
This video definitely helped me Ashe’s saved me so much money in repairs. Thank you!
It would have been helpful if you mentioned that the only way to accomplish this is by removing the ground effect under the front bumper.
Yeah I had to find out the hard way
How do you do that

Fantastic video! Thank you for doing that!
I do have a question...and it's been in the back of my mind for the last 25 years. It is the reason I NEVER replaced a starter. Do you need to shim/check to gap between the starter gears and the flywheel? This was something that was required on a mid 80's Pontiac. Or are the newer starters not requiring to gap them properly anymore. Your help would be greatly appreciated as I am finding myself possibly helping a family member replace a starter today.
No, that is not a requirement anymore..older engines from 60s to 80s would use similar cast for engines and could also use the same starter but they werent exact and precise so to get them to work ud have to shim em to compensate for the subtle differences..now they got rid of that and certain starters will only fit certain years etc.
