Starter - 2000 Accent
 

Probably one of the easiest things I've ever done on this car, and was able to do it without getting under the car.



***Disconnect the ground from the battery***

1. Remove the plastic intake system all the way to the manifold (careful with the bolts that hold the intake system in place, they tend to break quite easily... soak them with PB Blaster the night before).

2. Pull pins for the the shift linkage (keep a magnet handy, the pins tend to fly once you pull them off). Remove the bracket that holds the linkage in place (2 bolts - be careful not to lose the mounting washers on either side of the bracket).

3. Loosen the bolts holding the starter in place (2).

4. Remove the nut under the boot holding the wiring in place, disconnect the spade connection.

5. Remove the mounting bolts and starter will fall to the ground.



Installation is reverse of installation, it just requires a little dexterity to hold the starter in place while you get one of the bolts started.



I tend to disconnect surrounding electrical plugs to prevent breaking them when a wrench lets loose, you'll also want to be careful as you will be working around the brake lines as well.
