Replacing our car's starter may not be an easy automotive task but we can't deny the fact that it is important to know how to replace a starter on our own.
The materials or tools needed to replace a starter include a marker, a flood light, a car jack, crescent wrenches, and a ratchet set.
Air Ratchet Wrench
The first step on how to replace a starter is the preparation. We need an access from below of the car, which means that the car has to be pulled onto jack stands or the car itself may be jacked up. We must check the chalk blocks if they are in place and the brake if it is all set before jacking up the car. An important tip when working under a car or any other type of vehicle is to be extremely careful not to touch any other electrical wires or contacts that are not supposed to be touched or fixed.
The second step on how to replace a starter is to find the starter that will be replaced. We need to find it because there are different locations of starters and it depends on the model of the automotive. We may start finding it on the side of the driver. Those who have not seen a starter before, more often than not, it looks like a tube measuring approximately six inches in diameter and eight inches in length. It features air-type holes on one end which go all the way surrounding the cylinder. It also features a mounting connection as well as a couple of electrical connections. With older automotives, the starter may be found on the engine top or inside the compartment of the engine.
Third step is the removal of the connections. As mentioned earlier, there are three connections, namely, the mounting connection and the two electrical connections. These must be removed but must be marked to avoid confusion. When removing the mounting connection, the tools that must be used are the Crescent wrench and ratchet. It must be noted that there are times when the connections are difficult to remove. The difficulty actually depends on the age of the automotive. It must also be noted that not a lot of force must be used when removing the connections because we might further damage the car and we might not have anything to drive in the end.
The fourth step on how to replace a starter is the installation. The reason why we need to mark the connections in the third step is because the starter will be installed using the reverse process on how we removed the connections.
The fifth step on how to replace a starter is the attachment of the negative cable of the battery onto the battery. The connection must then be tightened afterwards. Now, we may check whether all connections are properly done by starting the engine.
We must remember that the new starter motor has a core charge, which means that the old starter may be brought to the store to get a refund.
