00MAXI

This will be the 2nd starter in 2 years for my max. I've been hitting it with a hammer for about two weeks now and finally it went kaput. I got 172k on my max and I swear the starter that came with it lasted me 140k!!

I'm thinking about the Duralast from autozone with a one year warranty since I know this car will probably only last me about that. Anyhow, anyone have a write up on how to remove and replace it? What tools etc...I don't want to pay the shop $150 to install it. The actual part is $150 so that would be $3 bills and that would be eating into my rent money.

is there something wrong with your electrical system causing you to blow your starter?
