@@leeknudsen940 the new one slipped in in 2 sec. way easier when you can see it. Had to get a pry bar on the driver side and get it seated in hole. Put you some lube on the seal. Starting strong ever since.
@@PickardUSA I took nothing off to get to starter. Use a light and your phone on video and slide it down to see what’s in there. Once I saw how the nut was, I used my extension and 10 mm and felt it to get it off.
@@piratesofthehatchie I finally got mine back in. It was a bit of a pain though as I couldn't see that one of the ears on the back of the starter (the one to the left of the ear containing the bolt hole) was getting blocked by part of the engine. After accidently realizing what was happening, I rotated the start about a 1/4 inch, and it went right in...after 2 days of using a pry bar, and many many curse words.
I have an 18' HD10 Max. Was having same slow start issue after it was warmed up. Sometimes to the point I would have to wait a bit for it to cool down some. I used this video as a guide to get the starter out. The bolt can be accessed without removing anything. I used my 1/4" drive ratchet with a 6" and 4" extension, stacked. Just go up under the cover in line with the bolt and feel around with the end of the socket/extension. You will find it. Took my dremel to the tab on the front of the transmission. Just a little bit of relief on that tab and the starter came out as shown. I took the starter apart. Mine was not dirty. However, the copper bands on the armature where the brushes make contact were blackened. I am assuming this is just from electrical current passing over the surface. I took some fine grit sandpaper and brought it back to copper only. Also, for some reason, the engineers decided to cheapen out and put a bushing instead of a bearing at the back of the starter. I lubed this with a little bit of dielectric grease. After I put it back in, no more hot start issue. I think the blackened contact surface where the brushes meet the armature make it so the starter cannot generate enough power to get things done.
I’ve got a low mileage Can Am XT Outlander meticulously maintained never mudded, looks new & wouldn’t start after it warmed up? I took off the right side panels(oil change style) took the starter out & apart, surprisingly it was filthy, cleaned the brushes & lower armature ( all else) replaced & starts like new. Denso starter is too light for a 1000cc engine. I expect a starter like that on my 15hp lawn mower…can am dropped the ball big time on that one for sure.
Ensure the pos post is in approx position n& get a heel bar & pull on the end of the starter to pop it back into the crankcase then get your screw on the end of your socket & 8 inch extension & carefully align it to start the threads
Thanks for sharing this, very helpful!
@@williamalexpage9288 thx for watching
2017 Can am defender. Came out with out taking stator off. Barely. 🤞 stud has to be pointing back like on vid. 10mm on bolt. Thanks for vid boss. 🤘

What did you find out the problem was. I have the same exact thing with my newly bought 2011 Commander 1000 X. THANK YOU!!!

Good find,,,thx for posting
Awesome vid mate good job
Glad you enjoyed
Hello, I have a similar issue on a Maverick. Slow to no crank only when hot. Have you ever found the issue on this machine? Was it a starter issue?
I set the valves as loose as possible, and installed a larger cranking amp battery

Can we get a follow-up video of reinstalling the starter from the passenger side?
