Is it tricky to get off?
thinking of greasing the starter and if there is a trick to getting the electrical harness/connector off could someone please tell me b4 i get stuck in the middle of a job?

 

Shouldn't be any trickier than any other harness connector

 

someone else complined about it in this forum thats why I asked

 

I remember that thread You can't get too far without disconnecting the harness - so give it a try.

 

Its not bad at all I replaced my starter a few weeks ago there is a connecter underneath the harness held onto a metal holder. just slide it off the metal holder to remove the harness easier.

 

No secrets here. My starter was making the infamous grinding noise just after starting. Took starter out. tore it apart. cleaned all old grease out and regrease. installed it and no more noise. Only took 2.5 beers to complete. The guys who buy a new starter when this noise is presents should reconsider attempting to grease it first. I did mine immediately after it started making that noise. So maybe i lucked out. Don't know if this would work after several months. Just don't overgrease it.

 

yeah, it's simple. took me about 3 hrs to replace my starter for the first time a couple months ago.

 

Wow, it only took me 20 mins. to replace mine for the first time.
