Starter Replacement
I started from the bottom, then I switched back to the top and used this video as reference: TRQ Full Remove/Replace Video
I started off trying to take it off from the bottom and gave up because it was too cramped to feel what I was doing. If you have tiny hands and can feel that top bolt, then this may be for you: Fix it Garage Video from the bottom
Background:
- Good post for Starter & other parts thread
- Other Parts I’ll change while I’m in there
Starter Rebuild instead of replacement
I’m rebuilding my starter because I have another vehicle I can drive while I’m playing with this.
This is the best video I found for breaking it down and replacing it: Multi Channel DIY. Watch it through completely, because he makes a few mistakes and backtracks, then fixes it!
Acouto Starter Brushes Set on Amazon (I normally don’t trust amazon for car parts, but this is my in town scoot, so I’ll give it a try!
